Abstract:
1. An image sensing apparatus comprising: an image sensor configured to generate analog image signals by photo-electrically converting an optical image; an A/D convertor configured to convert the analog image signals generated by said image sensor to digital image data; a memory configured to be connected to said A/D convertor and store the digital image data; a motion vector detection unit configured to be connected to said memory, where said motion vector detection unit reads out, from said memory, a plurality of the digital image data obtained by performing a plurality of image sensing operations and calculates motion vectors by performing matching process between a reference digital image data and other digital image data excluding the reference digital image data which are among the plurality of the digital image data; a combining unit configured to be connected to said memory, where said combining unit combines the plurality of the digital image data read out from said memory; and a CPU configured to be connected to said motion vector detection unit and said combining unit and control them, wherein said CPU set a threshold value based on a sensitivity which is set to said image sensor and causes said combining unit to combine the reference digital image data and the other digital image data in which a scalar amount of the motion vector, detected by said motion vector detection unit, is not higher than the threshold value.
