Abstract
An image file generation device includes: an image file generation unit that generates an image file having stored therein a plurality of sets of image data obtained in a batch via an image sensor; and an image recording unit that records the image file into a storage medium, wherein: if the image file generation unit determines that an image file-splitting condition has been satisfied while the batch of image data is being obtained via the image sensor, the image file generation unit ends image data storage into the current image file and starts image data storage into a new image file.
Claims15
An image file generation device, comprising:
- an image file generation unit that generates an image file having stored therein a plurality of sets of image data obtained in a batch via an image sensor;
- and
- an image recording unit that records the image file into a storage medium, wherein:
- if the image file generation unit determines that an image file-splitting condition has been satisfied while the batch of image data is being obtained via the image sensor, the image file generation unit ends image data storage into the current image file and starts image data storage into a new image file.
An image file generation method, comprising:
- an image file generation step of generating an image file having stored therein a plurality of image data obtained in a batch via an image sensor;
- and
- an image recording step of recording the image file into a storage medium, wherein:
- in the image file generation step, image data storage into a current image file is ended and image file storage into a new image file is started if an image file-splitting condition is determined to have been satisfied while the batch of image data is being obtained via the image sensor.
An image file generation method, comprising:
- a deletion step of deleting at least one set of image data among a plurality of sets of image data stored in an image file in response to an instruction issued by a user;
- and
- an integration step of integrating a plurality of image files generated in correspondence to a batch of image data into a single image file by ensuring that an image file-splitting condition is satisfied if image data have been deleted in the deletion step.
