Title:
IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGING METHOD, AND CAMERA SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/188933
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an imaging device, camera system and imaging method by which images exhibiting a long exposure effect can be obtained with excellent image quality. If it has been determined that blown-out highlights are occurring in an acquired image, this imaging device sets an imaging unit to a first mode for intermittently acquiring multiple images from the imaging element, and generates a composite image by acquiring multiple images by intermittent exposure; meanwhile, if it is determined that blown-out highlights are not occurring, the imaging device sets the imaging unit to a second mode for continuous exposure to acquire an image. In the first mode, by setting the exposure time of intermittent image acquisition and the number of exposures, it is possible to obtain a composite image exhibiting the effect of a long exposure time while preventing the occurrence of blown-out highlights. Further, in the second mode, because an image is acquired with continuous exposure, it is possible to obtain an image which exhibits an effect corresponding to the exposure time.
