Image correction circuit, image capture device, image correction method, and image correction program

An image correction circuit, comprising:

• an image acquisition section configured to acquire a signal corresponding to an image of an object by using a first shutter operation for starting exposure of a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements and a second shutter operation for ending exposure of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements;
• and
• a correction section configured to correct the signal,
• the correction section configured to correct the signal based on variance in exposure duration among the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements between the first shutter operation and the second shutter operation.

An image capture device for acquiring a signal corresponding to an image of an object, comprising:

• a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements configured to output the signal on the basis of an amount of exposure;
• a mechanical shutter configured to at least one of starting and ending of the exposure;
• and
• an image generation section configured to correct the signal based on variance in exposure duration among the plurality photoelectric conversion elements by using at least the mechanical shutter, and based on the signal output by the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements exposed by using at least the mechanical shutter,
• the image generation section configured to generate an output image corresponding to the signal after being corrected.

A non-transitory recording medium including an image correction computer program for acquiring a signal corresponding to an image of an object, the computer program comprising:

• code for acquiring the image by using a first shutter operation for starting exposure of a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements and a second shutter operation for ending exposure of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements;
• and
• code for correcting the signal;
• the code for correcting includes code for correcting variance in exposure duration among the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements by the first shutter operation and the second shutter operation.
