Patent ID: 7672526

Claim:
A signal processing device comprising: a processing region setting unit configured to set a processing region to be processed, with regard to second signals of second dimensions that are fewer than first dimensions had by first signals which are real world signals and are projected whereby a part of the continuity of said real world signals is lost; a continuity setting unit configured to set the continuity of the real world signals that has been lost in said second signals; an actual world estimating unit configured to estimate signals of said real world, corresponding to said second signals within a processing region set by said processing regions setting unit, according to the continuity set by said continuity setting unit; an information supplying unit configured to supply information relating to at least one of said processing region, said continuity, and said real world signals, to said processing region setting unit, said continuity setting unit, or said actual world estimating, in accordance with user operations; and an image generating unit configured to generate images with light signals estimated by said actual world waveform estimating unit; wherein said processing region setting unit is configured to set said processing region regarding image data wherein real world light signals have been projected in a plurality of pixels having a temporal or spatial integration effects, whereby a part of the continuity of the real world light signals has been lost, said continuity setting unit is configured to set the continuity of the real world light signals lost in said image data, said actual world estimating unit is configured to estimate said real world light signals by modeling said real world light signals corresponding to said image data within said processing region, said information supplying unit is configured to supply again information relating to at least one of said processing region, said continuity, and said real world signals, to said processing region setting unit, said continuity setting unit, or said actual world estimating unit, in accordance with user operations, following displaying of said image on a display unit configured to display the images generated by the image generating unit.
