Patent ID: 7668395

Claim:
An image processing device comprising: a data continuity detector to detect continuity of data in image data made up of a plurality of pixels acquired by light signals of a real world being cast upon a plurality of detecting elements each having spatio-temporal integration effects, of which a part of continuity of the light signals of the real world have been lost; a recorder to record a plurality of product-sum operation coefficients for calculating pixel values computed by integrating, with desired increments, a polynomial approximating functions representing said real world light signals generated by approximating, the pixel values of said pixels corresponding to a position in at least one dimensional direction of the time-space directions of said image data are pixel values acquired by integration in said at least one dimensional direction, respectively corresponding to the continuity of a plurality of data, the continuity of data being a predetermined dimensional direction along which the polynomial approximating functions have a constant value, the continuity of data being different from the continuity of the real world light signals; and a pixel extractor to extract said product-sum operation coefficients corresponding to continuity of said data detected by said data continuity detector from the plurality of said product-sum operation coefficients recorded by said recorder, and to output values calculated from a linear combination of each of the pixel values of the pixels corresponding to each of various positions in said at least one dimensional direction within said image data corresponding to said continuity detected by said data continuity detector, and extracted product-sum operation coefficients, as the computed pixel values by integrating said polynomials with said increments.
