Abstract: The present invention enables processing results which
are more accurate and which have higher precision as to
events of the real world to be obtained. (An inverse gamma
correction unit 5001 applies inverse gamma correction to an
input image wherein light signals of the actual world have
been projected and a part of the continuity of the light
signals of the actual world has been lost, and which has
been subjected to gamma correction. A data continuity
detecting unit 101 detects, in the input image subjected to
inverse gamma correction, data continuity corresponding to
the continuity of light signals of the real world. An
actual world estimating unit 102 estimates the light signals
by estimating the continuity of the light signals of the
real world, based on the data continuity. An image
generating unit 103 generates an output image from the
estimated light signals. A presentation system property
correcting unit 5002 applies correction corresponding to the
properties of the presentation system to the output image
that has been generated. The present invention can be
applied to an image processing device for generating images
with higher resolution.
