Abstract
An image pickup device is provided. The image pickup device includes a pickup device that captures an image, a background image processor that determines a pickup object area to be captured to be an illumination image and displays the pickup object area as a background image, a display that displays the background image, and a main controller that generates a control signal that controls the pickup device, the background image processor, and the display. The image pickup device projects the illumination image instead of the background image on the screen, such that the person's image does not overlap with the background image during the image pickup action. A brightness level of the object image in the corrected pickup picture is adjusted according to a brightness level of the background image, such that the object image can be more naturally harmonized with the background image.
