Abstract
This imaging device comprises: a storage unit that sequentially stores a plurality of frame images based on an imaging signal from an imaging sensor for capturing images of a subject light and also stores a still image corresponding to any of the plurality of frame images; a movie image generation unit that generates slow-motion movie images to be played back at a second frame rate lower than a first frame rate indicative of the number of frame images stored in the storage unit in a unit of time, on the basis of the plurality of frame images stored in the storage unit; and an image stabilization amount calculation unit that uses, as a reference, the frame image corresponding to the still image from among the plurality of frame images, to calculate an image stabilization amount for the slow-motion movie images.
Claims9
An imaging device, comprising:
- a storage unit that sequentially stores a plurality of frame images based on an imaging signal from an imaging sensor that captures images of a subject light and also stores a still image corresponding to any of the plurality of frame images;
- a movie image generation unit that generates slow-motion movie images to be played back at a second frame rate lower than a first frame rate indicative of the number of frame images stored in the storage unit in a unit of time, on the basis of the plurality of frame images stored in the storage unit;
- an image stabilization amount calculation unit that uses, as a reference, the frame image corresponding to the still image from among the plurality of frame images, to calculate an image stabilization amount for the slow-motion movie images;
- and
- a still image generation unit that generates still image data by processing any frame image, as the reference, of the plurality of frame images corresponding to the still image based on the calculated stabilization amount.
A display device, comprising:
- a storage unit that sequentially stores a plurality of frame images based on an imaging signal from an imaging sensor that captures images of a subject light and also stores a still image corresponding to a frame image of the plurality of frame images;
- a movie image generation unit that generates slow-motion movie images to be played back at a second frame rate lower than a first frame rate indicative of the number of frame images stored in the storage unit in a unit of time, on the basis of the plurality of frame images stored in the storage unit;
- an image stabilization amount calculation unit that uses, as a reference, the frame image corresponding to the still image from among the plurality of frame images, to calculate an image stabilization amount for the plurality of frame images;
- and
- a control unit that cuts out a reference region within the still image based on the calculated stabilization amount,
- wherein the reference region is used to cut out a corresponding reference region of each of the other frames of the plurality of frames in generating movie image data to be played back.
A display device, comprising:
- a storage unit that sequentially stores a plurality of frame images based on an imaging signal from an imaging sensor that captures images of a subject light and also stores a still image corresponding to a frame image of the plurality of frame images;
- a movie image generation unit that is electrically connected to the storage unit and that generates movie images on the basis of the plurality of frame images stored in the storage unit;
- and
- a control unit that is electrically connected to the storage unit and that cuts out a reference region within the still image based on information regarding an image stabilization amount,
- wherein the reference region is used as a reference to cut out a corresponding reference region of each of the other frames of the plurality of frames in generating the movie images.
