Abstract
An image capturing apparatus comprises an angular velocity detection sensor that detects an angular velocity, an acceleration detection sensor that detects an acceleration, a motion vector detection unit that detects a motion vector on the basis of an image captured by the image capturing apparatus; and a calculation unit that calculates an orientation angle of the image capturing apparatus on the basis of a detection value from the angular velocity detection sensor, a detection value from the acceleration detection sensor, and a detection value from the motion vector detection unit, wherein the calculation unit corrects an output of the angular velocity detection sensor using the detection value obtained by the motion vector detection unit, and calculates an orientation angle of the image capturing apparatus on the basis of the corrected value.
