An image processing method having the wide angle distortion correction processing, an image processing apparatus and an imaging apparatus

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately recognize a subject on distortion correction processing, using a relatively small scale circuit.SOLUTION: A distortion correction coefficient at least includes a first distortion correction coefficient calculated based on a physical characteristic of a lens in an optical system 110 and an incident angle of incident light from a virtual projection plane VP set to the optical system, and a second distortion correction coefficient which is an image height from an optical center at which an imaging device intersects with the optical axis of the optical system, calculated from a tangent function of the incident angle to the optical system as a variable. An image data, calculated in an incident angle range that saturates due to the value of the distortion correction coefficient exceeding a predetermined upper limit value, is converted into a preset predetermined value.
