Abstract:
Provided are an image processing apparatus and an image processing method that process a far-infrared image.
The image processing apparatus includes a region extraction section, a modal transformation section, and a superimposition section. The region extraction section extracts a region of interest within a visible-light image captured by a visible-light camera. The modal transformation section receives an image of the region of interest within an infrared image captured by an infrared camera observing the same subject as the visible-light camera, and transforms the received image to a modal image. The superimposition section generates a presentation image by superimposing the modal image on the region of interest within the visible-light image. The modal transformation section transforms a far-infrared image of the region of interest to a modal image including an information modal familiar to humans by using, for example, a database and a conditional probability distribution.
