A method of reducing noise in an input image by setting, as a local window among color pixels included in the input image, a target pixel and neighboring pixels adjacent to the target pixel, determining color pixel values for the target pixel and each of the neighboring pixels included in the local window, generating local color average values are generated by averaging, color by color, the color pixel values, generating offset color pixel values by converting the color pixel values of the target pixel and the neighboring pixels based on the local color average values, and generating a compensated color pixel value of the target pixel by adjusting the color pixel value of the target pixel based on the offset color pixel values.

A transitory storage unit transitorily stores pixel data output from an imaging unit. A development processing unit outputs video data obtained by performing development processing including demosaicing processing on the pixel data stored in the transitory storage unit. An output control unit switches between a first recording mode in which only the video data out of the video data and the pixel data is used as recording data and a second recording mode in which the video data and the pixel data are used as the recording data. In addition, the output control unit controls the imaging unit to perform imaging with different exposure values between the first recording mode and the second recording mode.

An imaging apparatus includes an autofocus function, and performs focus adjustment by displacing a focus lens to an in-focus opposition. A focal correction calculation unit calculates a focal correction amount using at least one type of information selected from the diaphragm information used for exposure adjustment, positional information for the zoom lens, and positional information for the focus lens. The focal correction amount is further revised, and processing is executed to suppress coloring on the subject image resulting from chromatic aberration. The correction amount after revision is sent to a focal adjustment unit and the focal lens is driven and controlled by the lens control unit.

An image processing system receives a sequence of frames including a current input frame and a next input frame (the next input frame is captured subsequent in time with respect to capturing of the current input frame). The image processing system stores a previously outputted output frame. The previously outputted output frame is derived from previously processed input frames in the sequence. The image processing modifies the current input frame based on detected first motion and second motion. The first motion is detected based on an analysis of the current input frame with respect to the next input frame. The second motion is detected based on an analysis of the current input frame with respect to the previously outputted output frame. According to one configuration, the image processing system implements multi-sized analyzer windows to more precisely detect the first motion and second motion.
