Patent ID: 8605159

Claim:
An image processing apparatus comprising: a first input unit configured to input image data captured by a capturing unit; a second input unit configured to input exposure information of the captured image data; a third input unit configured to input rotary-vibration information indicating rotary vibration around an optical axis of the capturing unit at the time of image capture; a first converter configured to convert the input captured image data to an image in a polar coordinate space; a corrector configured to correct for a blur, which is caused by the rotary vibration at the time of image capture, of the converted image in the polar coordinate space based on the exposure information and an angle of rotation of the capturing unit, which is indicated by the rotary-vibration information; and a second converter configured to convert the image that results from the correction to image data in a real space, wherein the corrector effects the correction by performing image processing on the converted image in the polar coordinate space.
