Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique capable of generating a panoramic image without whitening-out and black-crushing.SOLUTION: A multi-eye imaging section 10 includes a plurality of imaging units 20A-20F. An exposure setting section 400 individually sets an exposure value to each of the plurality of imaging units 20A-20F. The exposure setting section 400 sets an individual reference exposure value for each of the imaging units 20A-20F and a relative exposure value obtained by changing the exposure value by a prescribed stage number with the reference exposure value as the center. A panoramic image storage section 410 holds photographed images with different exposure values photographed by the respective imaging units 20A-20F having the exposure values set by the exposure setting section 400. An HDR composition section 420 generates the photographed image with a dynamic range adjusted, by combining the photographed images with different exposure values.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 28
