Patent ID: 7403710

Claim:
An image processing apparatus that corrects an image blur by using a plurality of images acquired by an image capturing unit, comprising: a blur detection unit adapted to detect a blur amount between the plurality of images; a binarized image generation unit adapted to generate one binarized image for a predetermined threshold value by a logical product between a plurality of binarized images, the plurality of binarized images being generated based on the predetermined threshold value by obtaining respective difference values between an image photographed with flash emission and a plurality of images photographed without flash emission, which are aligned based on the blur amount detected by said blur detection unit, among the plurality of images; an acquisition unit adapted to acquire region data for separating the image into regions set in units of respective threshold values by changing the threshold value and to generate the binarized images for the respective threshold values by the binarized image generation unit; and a display unit adapted to perform a composition of the image photographed with flash emission and the plurality of images photographed without flash emission, based on region data set to one threshold value selected among the respective threshold values and to display the composite image.
