Patent ID: 8648917

Claim:
An imaging apparatus comprising: a plurality of imaging units; a correction unit that executes a correction process for images captured by a plurality of the imaging units; and a control unit that computes a correction parameter applied to a correction process in the correction unit, wherein the correction unit executes distortion aberration correction and hand-vibration correction for each of the captured images and an image characteristic matching correction process for matching characteristics between a plurality of images captured by a plurality of the imaging units; and wherein the control unit computes a combined correction vector obtained by combining correction vectors applied to each of a distortion aberration correction process, a rotational hand-vibration correction process, a translating hand-vibration correction process, a zoom ratio correction process, an optical axis center correction process, and a parallax correction process, and provides the combined correction vector to the correction unit, and the correction unit collectively executes the distortion aberration correction process, the rotational hand-vibration correction process, the translating hand-vibration correction process, the zoom ratio correction process, the optical axis center correction process, and the parallax correction process through an image transformation process by applying the combined correction vector.
