Abstract
To improve image quality of image data. A moving body detection unit detects, as a moving body area, an area of a moving body from an input frame every time the input frame captured by an image capture unit is input. A prediction unit predicts, as a prediction area, an area corresponding to the moving body area in a next input frame following the input frame from the moving body area every time the input frame is input. A statistical information generation unit that generates statistical information by performing predetermined statistical processing on each of pixel values of pixels in either an area excluding the predicted prediction area from a specific processing area in the input frame or an area that overlaps the prediction area in the processing area every time the input frame is input. A control information generation unit that generates predetermined control information for controlling the image capture unit based on the statistical information every time the statistical information is generated. A controller that controls the image capture unit and causes the image capture unit to capture the next input frame based on the control information every time the control information is generated.
