Abstract
An image capture apparatus generates synchronous detection images under different exposure conditions in such a way that each synchronous detection image is obtained by subtracting the output values of an image captured with no light projected from the output values of an image captured with light projected, selects one or more pixels from the rest of the pixels at each position of the two or more synchronous detection images under the different exposure conditions excluding the pixel having the lowest output value, and generates a synchronous detection image by using the selected pixels.
