Abstract:
1. An image capture device comprising: an image capture unit; an image capture control unit that controls the image capture unit so as to acquire images successively; a correction unit that performs shading correction on the images captured successively by the image capture control unit; a selection unit that selects a first image from the images on which the shading correction is performed by the correction unit; a difference acquisition unit that acquires a difference between the first image selected by the selection unit and a plurality of images other than the first image; a determination unit that determines an influence of noise in a peripheral area of the images on which the shading correction is performed by the correction unit, that affects an acquisition of a difference by the difference acquisition unit; a moving object detection accuracy control unit that controls a detection accuracy of a moving object in each of the images in accordance with the difference acquired by the difference acquisition unit, based on a determination result by the determination unit; and a composite image generation unit that generates a composite image in which a plurality of images captured successively are combined, based on the detection accuracy of the moving object controlled by the moving object detection accuracy control unit.
