Abstract:
An image capture apparatus capable of identifying desired time points without using a special device is provided. The image capture apparatus 1 includes a moving image acquiring unit 53, a calculating unit 56, and an identification area analyzing unit 57. The moving image acquiring unit 53 acquires a plurality of images captured consecutively. The calculating unit 56 calculates variation values of pixel values along a time series of the plurality of images acquired by the moving image acquiring unit 53, within a predetermined region common to the plurality of images. The identification area analyzing unit 57 identifies two time points according to a predetermined standard from among a plurality of time points in the time series, on the basis of the variation values of the pixel values calculated by the calculating unit 56.
