Patent ID: 8488009

Claim:
An image processing apparatus comprising a motion-blur adding section for performing filter processing on moving image data to be subjected to coding processing as pre-processing of the coding processing in accordance with motion information indicating motion of an image between unit images included in the moving image data so that motion-blur addition processing is performed, wherein the motion-blur adding section obtains an optimum shutter speed corresponding to the subject speed for each area in the image data by referring to information relating a subject speed and a shooting shutter speed to reduce deterioration of an output image, and adjusts an amount of the motion blur on the basis of a relationship between the shooting shutter speed and the optimum shutter speed; and a coding section for coding the moving image data having been subjected to the motion-blur addition processing by the motion-blur adding section, wherein a motion-blur addition parameter used at the time of the motion-blur adding section performing the motion-blur addition processing and the moving image data are externally output to a second image processing apparatus that decodes the moving image data and reduces the motion-blur from the decoded moving image data.
