Abstract
Blur correction device () includes: a blur information generation unit () which generates blur information based on sensor data indicating camera motion; a blur correction unit () which corrects blur in a captured image, based on the blur information, to generate a candidate corrected image; an evaluation value calculation unit () which calculates an evaluation value indicating a blur correction level for the candidate corrected image; a termination judgment unit () which judges whether the blur correction should be terminated, based on a predetermined condition; and a blur information updating unit which updates the blur information, when the blur correction should not be terminated. When the blur information is updated, the blur correction unit () corrects the blur, based on the updated blur information, to generate a new candidate corrected image. When the blur correction should be terminated, the termination judgment unit () determines the corrected image from the candidate corrected images, based on the evaluation value.
