Abstract:
1. An image processing system comprising: an image obtaining section that obtains an input image having been captured; a characteristic region information obtaining section that obtains information indicating a characteristic region in the input image; a model storage section that stores a model representing an object by a character parameter; an image generating section that converts an image of an object included in the characteristic region in the input image into a high image quality image having an image quality higher than an image quality of the input image, by adapting the image of the object included in the characteristic region in the input image to the model; and an output section that outputs an image including the high image quality image and an image of a region other than the characteristic region wherein the model storage section stores the model representing an object by a statistical character parameter, the characteristic region information obtaining section obtains information indicating a type of an object included in the characteristic region in the input image, the model storage section stores models of different types of objects, in association with the respective types, and the image generating section converts an image of the object included in the characteristic region in the input image into the high image quality image, by adapting the image of the object included in the characteristic region in the input image to a model stored in the model storage section in association with the type of the object included in the characteristic region indicated by the information obtained by the characteristic region information obtaining section.
