Abstract

A first feature is extracted from first encoded data of a first image. A second feature is extracted from second encoded data of a second image. A first reconstructed image is obtained by decoding the first encoded data. A second reconstructed image is obtained by decoding the second encoded data. The first or second reconstructed image is corrected based on the first and second features. The first and second reconstructed images are synthesized.
