In a device for combining a plurality of images having a same photograph range, a position shift between the images having the same photograph range is detected, and the position shift of the images is corrected, and after the position shift is corrected, similarity of the respective portions between the images is evaluated, and the image combining method is changed according to the similarity evaluation. Therefore it is possible to create an image having no position shift due to the shaking of a camera and object blurring due to the movement of the object. Moreover, whether the images are combined or not is determined according to the similarity, hence the processing load is reduced and an image having no object blurring can be created.

Image processing method and image processing device

Adaptive image processing device performs image processing with a simple configuration on a composite image including areas having different characteristics by changing a process depending on the number of combined images in each area of the composite image configured by combining a plurality of images. The image processing device acquires a plurality of images and generates a composite image. When the composite image is generated, the image processing device realizes a process of determining the number of combined images for detecting the number of images to be combined for each area of the composite image and holding the number as information about the number of combined images, and an image processing parameter switching process for switching a parameter of image processing to be performed on each area of the composite image according to the information about the number of combined images.

A shooting device includes a image sensor for capturing an image of a subject, a detection unit detecting stabilization information from the image, a stabilization information recording unit associating a shooting condition during shooting with the detected stabilization information and recording the shooting condition and the stabilization information, and an electronic image stabilization unit. The electronic image stabilization unit extracts the stabilization information corresponding to the shooting condition having a predetermined relationship with the shooting condition by referring to the stabilization information recording unit using the shooting condition, and stabilizes the shooting device shake based on the extracted stabilization information.

An image shooting device with a camera shake correction function is provided. The image shooting device is capable of avoiding the deterioration of image quality due to performing camera shake correction. An image shooting control unit of the image shooting device can be configured to select to take in either one piece of image data for ordinary image shooting or a plurality of pieces of image data for camera shake correction, on the basis of the determination result of a determination unit. It also can be configured to take in both one piece of image data for ordinary image shooting and a plurality of pieces of image data for camera shake correction.
