Imaging device

An imaging device, comprising:

• a movement detection component configured to detect movement of the imaging device by detecting force imparted to the imaging device, and to produce a movement detection result;
• an imaging component configured to produce image data by capturing a subject image, the image data including a first image data and a second image data, the first image data including a noise, and the second image data produced before the first set of image data;
• a movement vector detection component configured to detect a movement vector based on at least the produced plurality of sets of image data, and to output a vector detection result;
• and a three-dimensional noise reduction (NR) component configured to select a correction method from a plurality of correction methods, the plurality of correction methods being non-blur correction methods, the selecting based on the movement detection result and the vector detection result;
• wherein the three-dimensional NR component is further configured to correct the first image data using the selected correction method, when the movement detection result indicates that the imaging device is moving, and the vector detection result indicates that the movement vector is greater than or equal to a threshold value, the three-dimensional NR component is further configured to select a correction method from the plurality of correction methods that incorporates the vector detection result, when either the movement detection result indicates that the imaging device is still or when the vector detection result indicates that the movement vector is less than the threshold value, the three-dimensional NR component selects a correction method from the plurality of correction methods that does not incorporate the vector movement result;
• the imaging device further comprising:
• an electronic zoom component configured to change a zoom ratio by changing a cropping range for image data produced by the imaging component, and the three-dimensional NR component configured to change an upper limit of a correction amount of the first image data on the basis of the zoom ratio of the electronic zoom component, and the three-dimensional NR component configured to correct the first image data in response to the detection result of the movement vector detection component.
