Abstract:
1. An electronic blurring correction apparatus having an image-capturing device in which mutual blurrings among a plurality of images obtained by time-shared photographing are corrected, and an image with blurring corrected can be output, the electronic blurring correction apparatus comprising: an image-capturing section which receives light from a photographic subject and generates an image signal; an accumulation section which accumulates images captured by the image-capturing section; a first transfer register which is provided in the accumulation section and stores a first image captured by the image-capturing section; a second transfer register which is provided in the accumulation section, is disposed to intersect with the first transfer register, and stores a second image captured at a different time from a time the first image was captured by the image-capturing section; a blurring detection section which detects relative blurring between the first image and the second image; a transfer control section which performs control so that the first transfer register and the second transfer register respectively transfer the first image and the second image so as to correct the relative blurring between the first image and the second image in accordance with blurring of an image which is detected by the blurring detection section; an image combining section which generates a composite image by combining the first image and the second image which are transferred on the basis of the control performed by the transfer control section; and a control section which controls and causes the image-capturing section, accumulation section, transfer control section, and image combining section to repeatedly execute the operation of combining the first image and the second image.
