Abstract:
1. An image capture device comprising: image capturing means having a light-receiving surface, on which pixels are arrayed, each pixel being composed of an image capturing element outputting an electrical signal at an output level responsive to received light intensity; optics for forming an image of an object in a position on the light-receiving surface; image shifting means for moving an image position on the light-receiving surface; and image processing means for processing images captured by the image capturing means, wherein the image capturing means captures respective images on the light-receiving surface before and after movement of the image position by the image shifting means; the pixels on the light-receiving surface are arrayed in a two dimensional matrix in a first alignment direction and in a second alignment direction perpendicular to the first alignment direction; the image shifting means causes the image position to move in the first alignment direction of the pixels on the light-receiving surface and in the second alignment direction perpendicular to the first alignment direction; and the image processing means has
