    摘要: An image-taking apparatus generates an output image from a photographed image obtained by photographing and displays this output image on a display screen of a display section. The image-taking apparatus includes a recognition processing section for recognizing a specific subject (facial region of a person, or a facial component such as eyes) included in the photographed image. Referring to results of this recognition, the image-taking apparatus evaluates the dimension of the specific subject in each photographed image. If the dimension evaluated is relatively large, a relatively small magnification ratio to be employed upon the generation of the output image from the photographed image is provided. If the dimension evaluated is relatively small, a relatively large magnification ratio to be employed upon the generation of the output image from the photographed image is provided. As a result, the dimension of the specific subject in the output image is kept substantially constant.

    摘要: The exposure time calculator calculates exposure time of image sensor based on an aperture value corresponding to a diaphragm and brightness of an object. The predetermined time calculator calculates predetermined time based on a focal length of a lens and a predetermined coefficient. The shooting mode determining unit determines execution of multiple-exposure shooting to obtain a composite image of the object by obtaining multiple object images and then combining the multiple object images in a case where the exposure time is equal to or longer than the predetermined time. The motion detector detects motion among the multiple object images in the multiple-exposure shooting. The predetermined coefficient calculator updates a predetermined coefficient based on the detected amount of motion.

    摘要: An imaging device includes: an imaging element which outputs a signal based on an optical image projected to the imaging element by imaging; a correction lens which moves the optical image on the imaging element; a face detection unit which detects a person's face as an object from a judgment image based on the output signal from the imaging element and detects the position and the direction of the face in the judgment image; and an imaging control unit which controls the position of the correction lens in accordance with the position and the direction of the detected face. A layout-adjusted image is generated from the output signal from the imaging element after the control. More specifically, the position of the correction lens is controlled so as to obtain a layout-adjusted image of the golden cut when an attention is paid on the face position. Moreover, the position of the correction lens is controlled so as to increase the space in the direction in which the face is directed.

    摘要: N separately-exposed images are serially captured in an additive-type image stabilization processing that generates one synthetic image having reduced influence due to camera shake by positioning and additively synthesizing a plurality of separately-exposed images. For each non-reference image (In), the strength (the degree of similarity) of a correlation between a reference image (Io) and each of the non-reference images is evaluated. Each of the non-reference image is determined whether valid or not according to the strength of each correlation. By using the reference image and valid ones of the non-reference images, a synthetic image is generated by additive synthesis.

    摘要: There is provided an imaging apparatus and an imaging method capable of matching coordinate positions of a plurality of images to be synthesized with each other when generating an image having a wide dynamic range by synthesizing the plurality of images each having a different exposure condition. When a luminance adjustment circuit adjusts a luminance value of each of reference image data and non-reference image data, a displacement detection circuit detects displacement between the reference image data and non-reference image data. After a displacement correction circuit corrects coordinate positions of the non-reference image data on the basis of the detected displacement, an image synthesizing circuit generates synthesized image data composed of reference image data and non-reference image data.
