Abstract:
1. An image processing device comprising: a data continuity detector to detect continuity of data in image data made up of a plurality of pixels acquired by light signals of a real world being cast upon a plurality of detecting elements each having spatio-temporal integration effects, of which a part of continuity of the light signals of the real world have been lost; a recorder to record a plurality of product-sum operation coefficients for calculating polynomial coefficients approximating functions representing said real world light signals generated by approximating, pixel values of said pixels corresponding to a position in at least one dimensional direction of time-space directions of said image data are pixel values acquired by integration in said at least one dimensional direction, respectively corresponding to the continuity of a plurality of data; and a real world estimating unit to estimate said functions representing said real world light signals, by extracting said product-sum operation coefficients corresponding to continuity of said data detected by said data continuity detector from a plurality of said product-sum operation coefficients recorded by said recorder, and to calculate said coefficients of said polynomials from a linear combination of each of the pixel values of the pixels corresponding to each of various positions in said at least one dimensional direction within said image data corresponding to said data continuity detected by said data continuity detector, and extracted product-sum operation coefficients.
