Abstract: The captured image acquisition unit 52 acquires the data of the subject focusing image P1 and the non-subject focusing image P2 with different focal points. The image depth map generation unit 91 generates the subject depth map DMP1 and the non-subject depth map DMP2 that represent a distance relationship of a subject in an image for every pixel for each of the subject focusing image P1 and the non-subject focusing image P2 acquired. The composition depth map generation unit 92 performs predetermined processing on the subject depth map DMP1 and the non-subject depth map DMP2 thus generated to generate the composition depth map DMP3. The image composition unit 55 composites the data of the subject focusing image P1 with the data of the non-subject focusing image P2 based on the composition depth map DMP3 thus generated to generate the data of the omnifocal image P3.

Abstract: An image acquisition unit 52 acquires images consecutively captured while an image capture range is moved in a predetermined direction. A face detection unit 53 detects same subject images from the images acquired. A facial expression determination unit 55 calculates evaluation values of each of the same subject images detected. A facial expression decision unit 56 decides, as a combination target, a specific subject image from the same subject images, based on the evaluation values calculated. A combination unit 58 generates a wide-range image by combining the subject image decided as the combination target with the images sequentially acquired by the image acquisition unit 52.

Abstract: An image obtaining unit continuously obtains plural images each showing a moving subject and motionless subject. Dark current noise is removed from the plural images. Image portions of the moving subject are extracted from the plural images with noise removed, which image portions occupy different positions in the plural images, respectively. Image portions of the motionless subject are extracted from the plural images with noised removed, which image portions occupy the fixed positions in the plural images, respectively. The extracted image portions of the moving subject are moved in the plural images with noise removed based on the corresponding positions in the respective images. The moved image portions of the moving subject are combined with the mage portions of the motionless subject held at the fixed positions in the plural images with noise removed, whereby a shooting image is composed.
