Abstract
An image capturing apparatus comprises: a first image sensor having a plurality of pixels each counts a number of entering photons and outputs a count value as a first image signal; a second image sensor having a plurality of pixels each outputs an electric signal corresponding to a charge amount obtained by performing photoelectric conversion on entering light as a second image signal; and a generator that generates an image by selecting one of the first image signal and the second image signal.
Claims5
An image processing apparatus comprising at least one processor programmed to perform operations of a generator that generates an image having an expanded dynamic range using a first image signal and a second image signal,
- wherein the first image signal is output from a first image sensor having a plurality of pixels each counts a number of entering photons and outputs a count value, and
- the second image signal is output from a second image sensor having a plurality of pixels each outputs an electric signal corresponding to a charge amount obtained by performing photoelectric conversion on entering light.
