Title: Image processing apparatus, image processing system, and control method for the same
Inventor: KAZUYA TSUYAMA
IPC: H04N21/443
Filed: 2021-01-25
Abstract: First image data is transmitted to an external apparatus, and second image data generated by the external apparatus (e.g. a server) performing first image processing (e.g. complex or intensive processing such as noise reduction, high resolution processing) on the first image data is received. Local processing (e.g. simpler processing such as sensor characteristics correction processing) is also performed on the first image data, and the subsequent addition or combination (S407) amount of the second image data with the locally processed first image data is adjusted (S411) using a user interface (S410). Repeated reprocessing and transmission of the second image data by the external apparatus every time a change is requested by the user is avoided as the external processing is only performed and transmitted once, with the amount of the effect of the second image data applied when combined with the locally processed image data being adjustable.
