Abstract

This image capture device () includes: an image sensor (); an integrated value calculating section () which calculates, on a frame-by-frame basis, a value of a line integral of luminance values with respect to each of a plurality of horizontal lines included in a frame; a memory (); an average calculating section () which calculates a line average value by working out the average of the values of the line integral on the same horizontal line between the newest frame and a number of other frames gotten earlier than the newest one in the memory (); a waveform data generating section () which generates waveform data by normalizing the value of the line integral in the memory () based on the value of the line integral and a line average value; and a flicker extracting section () which extracts information about the phase and frequency of the flicker based on the waveform data.
