Abstract:
1. A signal processing device comprising: a processing region setting unit configured to set a processing region within image data wherein a light signal of a real world is projected on a plurality of pixels, each having a time integration effect, and a portion of a continuity of the light signal of the real world is lost; a movement vector setting unit configured to set movement vectors for an object within said image data corresponding to the continuity of the light signal of the real world, wherein a portion of the continuity thereof of said image data is lost; a model generator configured to model a relation between a pixel value of each of the pixels within said processing region and a pixel value of each of the pixels without movement blurring occurring, assuming that the pixel values of each of the pixels within said processing region is a value wherein the pixel value of each of the pixels without said movement blurring occurring which correspond to said object is integrated while shifting corresponding to said movement vectors; a normal equation generator configured to generate a normal equation using a first equation wherein the pixel value of each of the pixels within said processing region is substituted into a model generated by said model generator, and a second equation which constrains the relation between each of the pixels without said movement blurring occurring; an activity detector configured to detect activities corresponding to each of the pixels within said processing region; a weighting change unit configured to change a weighting of a portion of said first or said second equation, according to detection results of said activity detector, said weighting change unit configured to change the weighting of a portion of said first and second equations as to a pixel of interest to zero when activity corresponding to a pixel of interest within said processing region of said image data is at or above a predetermined threshold; and a real world estimating unit configured to estimate the pixel value for each pixel wherein said movement blurring is not occurring, by computing said normal equation which is generated by said normal equation generator, and wherein the weighting thereof is changed by said weighting change unit.
