Patent ID: 7663669

Claim:
An imaging apparatus including an XY-address-scanning imaging device that performs imaging at a period of ½ n of a light intensity fluctuation period of light, n being a natural number, the imaging apparatus comprising: integrating means for integrating pixel values of pixels in each of a plurality of areas of an image; holding means for holding integration values generated by the integrating means; operating means for operating a waveform of a differential value between integration values of the same areas in two images having a phase difference of flicker of 180 degrees; extracting means for extracting phase and amplitude of the flicker on the basis of the waveform of the differential value between the integration values operated by the operating means; selecting means for selecting a waveform of the flicker on the basis of shutter speed of the imaging apparatus; and correcting means for correcting the pixel values of the pixels by using a correction value based on the flicker waveform selected by the selecting means and the phase and amplitude extracted by the extracting means.
