Patent ID: 8227738

Claim:
An image capture device comprising: an image capture unit that performs an image capture and acquires image capture data; an exposure value setting unit that sets an exposure value based on a luminance value of the image capture data acquired by the image capture unit; a comparison unit that compares the exposure value set by the exposure value setting unit to a preset value; an image capture control unit that directs the image capture unit to perform image captures a plurality of times and acquire a plurality of image capture data, in a case where, according to a result of the comparison by the comparison unit, the exposure value is equal to or less than the preset value; an image data creation unit that performs a pixel additive synthesis for the plurality of image capture data acquired by the direction of the image capture control unit and creates image data; and a determination unit that determines whether or not a common specific image region exists in each of the plurality of image capture data acquired by the direction of the image capture control unit, wherein the image data creation unit performs a pixel additive synthesis for the entire plurality of image capture data and creates image data, in a case where the determination unit determines that the common specific image region does not exist.
