Abstract
An imaging method is provided that includes: taking an image of an object to generate an image signal of the object; generating a taken image of the object on a basis of the image signal; detecting motion information of the object on the basis of the image signal; taking an image of the object on a basis of the motion information multiple times so as to differentiate an exposure amount thereof and generating an HDR synthetic image of the object on the basis of a plurality of image signals whose exposure amounts are different from each other.
Claims10
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- a video input unit configured to take an image of an object to generate an image signal of the object;
- a video signal processor configured to generate a taken image of the object on a basis of the image signal;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- detect motion information of the object on the basis of the image signal;
- cause the video input unit to take an image of the object on a basis of the motion information multiple times so as to differentiate an exposure amount thereof, and
- cause the video signal processor to generate an HDR synthetic image of the object on the basis of a plurality of image signals whose exposure amounts are different from each other.
An imaging method for an imaging apparatus, the imaging apparatus comprising a video input unit, a video signal processor, and a controller, the imaging method comprising:
- a video inputting step of taking an image of an object by the video input unit to generate an image signal of the object;
- a motion information detecting step of detecting motion information of the object on a basis of the image signal by the controller;
- an imaging step of causing the video input unit to take an image of the object multiple times on a basis of the motion information so as to differentiate an exposure amount by the controller;
- and
- an HDR synthetic image generating step of generating an HDR synthetic image of the object on the basis of a plurality of image signals whose exposure amounts are different from each other by the video signal processor.
An imaging program for an imaging apparatus, the imaging apparatus comprising a video input unit, a video signal processor, and a controller, the imaging program causing the imaging apparatus to execute:
- a video inputting step of causing the video input unit to take an image of an object to generate an image signal of the object;
- a motion information detecting step of causing the controller to detect motion information of the object on a basis of the image signal;
- an imaging step of causing the video input unit to take an image of the object multiple times so as to differentiate an exposure amount thereof on a basis of the motion information by the controller;
- and
- an HDR synthetic image generating step of causing the video signal processor to generate an HDR synthetic image of the object on the basis of a plurality of image signals whose exposure amounts are different from each other.
