    摘要: A digital camera 100 includes an image capturing unit 16, an angular velocity sensor 22, an image determination unit 53, and an image composition unit 52. The angular velocity sensor 22 acquires a displacement amount in a field of view of image data when the image data is captured at predetermined time intervals. The image determination unit 53 sets a determination criterion for determining whether the image data thus captured is to be combined or not based on the displacement amount in the field of view acquired by the angular velocity sensor 22. Also, the image determination unit 53 determines whether or not the image data thus captured is valid as a composition target based on the determination criterion thus set. The image composition unit 52 combines image data determined by the image determination unit 53 as being valid as a composition target.

    摘要: A digital camera includes an imaging section, an overlapping area identifying section, a feature point judging section, a luminance adjusting section, and an image combining section. The overlapping area identifying section identifies overlapping areas of images consecutively captured by the imaging section. The feature point judging section judges whether amount of texture within areas of a predetermined range in the identified overlapping areas is larger or smaller than a predetermined reference value. The luminance adjusting section adjusts the pixel values of the images so that the pixel values of the overlapping areas come within a predetermined range, based on a judgment result of the texture. The image combining section combines the adjusted images such that their overlapping areas coincide with each other.

    摘要: A digital camera 1 includes an image composition unit 52 and a composite position determining unit 53. The image composition unit 52 acquires a plurality of images which have been captured continuously. The composite position determining unit 53 sets candidate areas for determining composite positions in adjacent images, from the plurality of images acquired by the composite position determining unit 52. Furthermore, the composite position determining unit 53 determines composite positions of the adjacent images based on a degree of similarity between the set candidate areas. The image composition unit 52 combines the adjacent images at the determined composite positions.
