Abstract:
An imaging apparatus is disclosed. The imaging apparatus includes an image capturing section, a motion detecting section, a reliability determining section, a shaking compensating section, and a filtering section. The image capturing section captures a plurality of images which chronologically differ. The motion detecting section detects motion of the plurality of images and generates motion information. The reliability determining section determines reliability of the motion information. The shaking compensating section compensates shaking which takes place among the plurality of images corresponding to the motion information. The filtering section filters an image which has been compensated for shaking by using a recursive filter. A characteristic of the filtering section is varied corresponding to the reliability of the motion information.
Abstract:
When the manual focus control mode is set in and the mode for executing an auxiliary function is set in, a microcomputer (14) sets an enlarged image generation area in an image generation region; a signal processing section (5) subjects an image signal of the enlarged image generation area to a processing; and a display processing section (7) generates an image enlarged to a predetermined size from the image signal processed by the signal processing section (5) and displays it in a display section (8). The microcomputer (14) sets the enlarged image generation area at a position moved from a predetermined position by a camera shake amount.
Abstract:
An imaging device having an automatic focusing function with improved accuracy corresponding to the object when fill light is projected, a signal processing method, a recording medium, and a program are disclosed. A microcomputer (13) monitors a fill light control section (15) and judges whether or not a fill light projection flag is on. If the fill light projection flag is on, the microcomputer (13) carries out a controlled variable computation for image blur correction to determine the controlled variable for the image blur correction and outputs the determined controlled variable to a detection section (121). The detection section (121) determines the position of a detection frame for automatic focusing and changes the size or number of the detection frames according to information on zoom magnification to control the position, size, or number of detection frames. The invention can be applied to a camcorder.
