Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an image acquiring section that acquires an image captured through an optical system having an optical transfer function that depends at least on distance to an object point, the optical system holding spread of light from the object point substantially constant regardless of the distance to the object point; an image processing section that applies a correction process for correcting the spread of light to the image, based on the optical transfer function of the optical system; an image generating section that generates a composite image by superimposing, onto each other, a plurality of corrected images generated by the image processing section applying, to the image, different correction processes corresponding to different optical transfer functions, an optical parameter acquiring section that acquires information indicating the imaging characteristic of the optical system at the time when the image is captured; and an image processing parameter storing section that stores information indicating a plurality of correction processes to be applied to the image, in association with imaging characteristics of the optical system, wherein
