Abstract:
An imaging device includes a plurality of image sensors, and circuitry configured to determine whether a difference between average brightness values of first image data and second image data, both captured by a same image sensor, is equal to or greater than a first threshold. The second image data is captured at a timing later than capture of the first image data. The circuitry perform one of a) output of image data captured by a rest of the plurality of image sensors excluding the one of the plurality of image sensors and b) composition of the image data captured by the rest of the plurality of image sensors, in response to a determination that the difference in average brightness value is equal to or greater than the first threshold and the average brightness value of the second image data is equal to or smaller than a second threshold.
