Patent ID: 8581992

Claim:
An image capturing apparatus comprising: an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of an object; an image capture controller configured to: (i) cause the image capturing unit to capture a plurality of first color component images of the object by multi-shot exposure within a given exposure time at the time of image shooting, wherein each of the first color component images has a first color component; and (ii) causing the image capturing unit to capture a second color component image of the object and a third color component image of the object by a one-shot exposure within the given exposure time, wherein the second color component image and the third color component image have color components different from the first color component, respectively; a displacement information acquiring unit configured to: (i) set one of the first color component images as a reference image; and (ii) acquire displacement information of the object in the first color component images other than the reference image, with respect to the object in the reference image; an image adding unit configured to align and add the first color component images based on the displacement information so as to generate an added image; a calculator configured to calculate a first point spread function (PSF) based on the displacement information; a first correcting unit configured to correct the second and third color component images using the first point spread function; and a combining unit configured to combine the added image with the corrected second and third color component images.
