US 7924288 B2Abstract
Step S6 In mode 2, using the following expression, the computer performs modulation processing of the variation component Vh in accordance with the global-band brightness indicated by the smoothed image V1.
In FIG. 3, a shooting lens 12 is mounted on an electronic camera 11. In the image space of the shooting lens 12, an acceptance surface of an image pickup device 13 is arranged. The operation of the image pickup device 13 is controlled by an output pulse of a timing generator 22 b. An image produced by the image pickup device 13 is stored temporarily in a buffer memory 17 via an analog-to-digital conversion part 16 and a signal processing part 16. The buffer memory 17 is connected to a bus 18. To the bus 18, an image processing part 19, a card interface 20, a microprocessor 22, a compression/decompression part 23, an image display part 24, and a storage medium 26 are connected. Among these, the card interface 20 writes and reads data to and from a detachable memory card 21. Further, to the microprocessor 22, a signal of the operation of a user from a switch group 22 a of the electronic camera 11 is input. Furthermore, the image display part 24 displays an image on a monitor screen 25 provided on the backside of the electronic camera 11. The storage medium 26 stores an image processing program according to any of the disclosed embodiments for execution by the microprocessor 22.
