Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an imaging apparatus includes an image sensor, image generation circuitry, calculation circuitry and superimposition circuitry. The image generation circuitry successively generates a first image and a second image. The calculation circuitry calculates a first parameter to allow brightness of the first image to be equal to or close to a predetermined value, and calculates a second parameter relating to brightness of the second image based on the first parameter and a predetermined ratio. The superimposition circuitry generates a composite image by superimposing the second image in which the brightness is adjusted using the second parameter onto the first image in which the brightness is adjusted using the first parameter.

Claim (Index 8):
An imaging method, comprising:\n successively generating a first image based on a first electrical signal obtained by receiving first light, and successively generating a second image based on a second electrical signal obtained by receiving second light; calculating a first control parameter value to allow brightness of the first image to be equal to or close to a predetermined value, and calculating a second control parameter value relating to brightness of the second image based on the first control parameter value and a predetermined ratio; and generating a composite image by superimposing the second image in which the brightness is adjusted using the second control parameter value onto the first image in which the brightness is adjusted using the first control parameter value.
