Image processing apparatus, image processing method, imaging apparatus, and program

An image processing method comprising a process including steps of:

• synthesizing a plurality of images captured at different timings;
• and
• performing motion correction that reduces influence on the images relating to motion,
• the process performing the motion correction by:
• setting a criterion of a section for which motion amount information relating to a motion amount supplied at a predetermined interval is referred to, on the basis of a synthesis ratio when the plurality of images is synthesized;
• and
• referring to the motion amount information according to the set criterion.

An imaging apparatus comprising an image processing apparatus including:

• a synthesizing unit that synthesizes a plurality of images captured at different timings;
• and
• a motion correction unit that performs correction that reduces influence on the images relating to motion, wherein
• the motion correction unit:
• sets a criterion of a section for which motion amount information relating to a motion amount supplied at a predetermined interval is referred to, on the basis of a synthesis ratio when the plurality of images is synthesized;
• and
• refers to the motion amount information according to the set criterion to perform the correction.

A program for causing a computer to execute:

• a process comprising steps of:
• synthesizing a plurality of images captured at different timings;
• and
• performing motion correction that reduces influence on the images relating to motion,
• the process performing the motion correction by:
• setting a criterion of a section for which motion amount information relating to a motion amount supplied at a predetermined interval is referred to, on the basis of a synthesis ratio when the plurality of images is synthesized;
