Image processing apparatus and image processing method for estimating point spread function

摘要

The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and an image processing method whereby a point spread function can be estimated with high precision. An exclusion unit excludes a repetitive pattern from a degraded image. An estimation unit estimates a point spread function by use of the degraded image from which the repetitive pattern has been excluded by the exclusion unit. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an image processing apparatus or the like that estimates a point spread function (PSF) from a degraded image and that performs a blind deconvolution using the point spread function to generate a restored image from the degraded image.
