Abstract
An imager is provided having an imaging sensor, a still image composer, and a movie creator. The imaging sensor takes still images with exposures that differ from each other. The still image composer composes still images so as to create a composite still image. The movie creator integrates the composite still images so as to create a movie. The composer creates a false composite still image and the movie creator integrates the false composite still image in order to create a movie upon the still image composer being unable to create the composite still image.
Claims14
An imager comprising:
- an imaging sensor that takes still images with exposures that differ from each other;
- a still image composer that composes still images so as to create a composite still image;
- a movie creator that integrates the composite still images so as to create a movie;
- said composer that creates a false composite still image and said movie creator that integrates the false composite still image in order to create a movie upon said still image composer being unable to create the composite still image.
A method of creating a movie comprising steps of taking still images whose exposure differ from each other;
- composing still images so as to create a composite still image;
- integrating the composite still images so as to create a movie;
- creating a false composite still image using one of the still images which is used for creating the composite still image and integrating the false composite still image so as to create a movie upon the composite still image being unable to be created.
One or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions for performing the following steps:
- taking still images with exposures that differ from each other;
- composing still images so as to create a composite still image;
- integrating the composite still images so as to create a movie;
- creating a false composite still image using one of the still images that is used for creating the composite still image and integrating the false composite still image so as to create a movie upon the composite still image not being created.
