Abstract
An image capturing device for generating images with precise luminance gradation regardless of variability in output levels between pixels. The image capturing device consists of an image shifting means for moving an image position on a light receiving surface, a differential calculating section for calculating the difference between output levels of the same pixels before and after image position movement, a summed level calculating section for sequentially summing the difference in output level for each pixel in pixel lines arrayed in the direction of movement of the image position to calculate the summed level of each pixel, and an image generating section for generating images based on the summed levels of each pixel.
