Patent ID: 8462219

Claim:
An image pickup apparatus, comprising: a photographing unit continuously photographing a plurality of frames in accordance with a rolling-shutter method; a buffer memory configured to store a photographed image of a plurality of photographed frames; a motion detection unit configured to continuously detect a motion amount of an object a plurality of times; a memory configured to store the detected motion amounts; a correction unit configured to read out the photographed image stored in the buffer memory; and an output unit configured to output an image corrected by the correction unit; wherein the correction unit determines from which position in the plurality of photographed frames a pixel of each of lines of the image to be output is read out, on the basis of the motion amount at a photographing time of each of the lines of a predetermined frame of the photographed image, and wherein if the determined read-out position is located on the outside of a photographing range of the predetermined frame, the correction unit then determines to read out a corresponding pixel in a frame photographed before and/or after a time of photographing the predetermine frame as the pixel of the image to be output, and calculates a read-out position of the corresponding pixel on the basis of the motion amount at the photographing time of each of the lines in the frame from which the corresponding pixel is read out.
