An imaging device according to the present disclosure includes: an axially rotatable imaging unit; a detector that detects a photographing direction of the imaging unit; a processor that performs image processing on image data generated by the imaging unit; and a controller that changes a setting method of an image processing parameter depending on the photographing direction detected by the detector, the image processing parameter being given to the image data by the processor.

Imaging device for performing image processing based on photographing direction

An image capture device according to the present disclosure includes: an image capturing section configured to generate an image by shooting; an acceleration detector configured to detect acceleration and output a first signal; an angular velocity detector configured to detect angular velocity and output a second signal; and a controller configured to determine an angle of rotation of the image based on at least a result of comparison between the first and second signals' DC components and a result of comparison between the first and second signals' AC components.

Image capture device and image processor

An image capture device includes: an image capturing section which captures a subject image and generates an image; an acceleration sensor which detects acceleration; an angular velocity sensor which detects angular velocity; a controller which determines, according to a result of detection obtained by the angular velocity sensor, a first correction angle that is based on a result of detection obtained by the acceleration sensor and a second correction angle that is based on a result of detection obtained by the angular velocity sensor; and an image processing section which rotates the generated image based on an angle obtained by adding together the first and second correction angles.

Image capture device, image processor and image processing method

An image capture device includes: an image capturing section configured to capture a subject image and to generate an image; an acceleration sensor configured to detect acceleration; a controller configured to set, according to a result of detection obtained by the acceleration sensor, a reference angle for the device's own tilt when a predetermined instruction is issued; and an image processing section configured to rotate the generated image by using the set reference angle as a reference for tilt correction processing.

Image capture device and image processing method for prioritizing tilt or rotational shake correction according to shooting situation

An imaging apparatus includes an optical system, an imaging device that captures an image imaged via the optical system to generate image data, a detecting unit that detects a shake of the imaging apparatus in a rotating direction, a cutting-out unit that cuts out data in a predetermined cutting-out region in a region of the image data generated by the imaging device, and a recording unit that records the cut image data in a recording medium. The cutting-out unit determines a rotating center position according to a predetermined condition (for example, the focal length of the optical system or move amount of the imaging apparatus), rotates the cutting-out region around the rotating center position to reduce an effect of the shake in the rotating direction detected by the detecting unit on the image imaged on the imaging device, and cuts out the image data from the rotated cutting-out region.

Imaging apparatus

An imaging apparatus includes a correction lens correcting a shake of an image on an imaging device, a driver driving the correction lens, a detector detecting an amount of shake of the imaging apparatus, a determining unit determining, based on an amplitude of an output from the detector, whether the shake is within a normal range, and a controller controlling the driver based on a result of the determination. The controller controls the driver to drive the correction lens in a first mode when the shake is within the normal range, the first mode driving the correction lens according to a result of the detection, and to stop the correction lens or drive the correction lens in a second mode when the shake is out of the normal range of camera shake, the second mode suppressing an amount of movement of the correction lens more than for the first mode.
