Abstract:
1. An image obtaining apparatus comprising: a sensor to detect a plurality of pixel values of a plurality of pixels, including detecting color pixel values of multi-color color pixels of the plurality of pixels and monochromatic reference pixel values of monochromatic reference pixels of the plurality of pixels, by using a color filter including the multi-color color pixels configured to obtain a color image and the monochromatic reference pixels configured to obtain a monochromatic reference image, which are used for hand-trembling function estimation; an exposure controller configured to control exposure times of the multi-color color pixels and the monochromatic reference pixels; and an image generator configured to generate a long-exposure color image signal corresponding to the obtaining of the color image from the detected color pixel values and a short-exposure reference image signal from the detected monochromatic reference pixel values, the long-exposure color image signal and the short-exposure reference image signal being aligned with each other.
