Imaging processing apparatus and method of imaging processing by controlling an imaging period

Abstract

There is provided an imaging processing apparatus comprising: an imaging period controller configured, when driving an imager with an exposure time less than a standard imaging period, to generate a frame of the standard imaging period every certain frames and to control an imaging period so that one of a preceding frame and succeeding frame of the frame of the standard imaging period has an imaging period shorter than the standard imaging period and the other has an imaging period longer than the standard imaging period; a shutter controller configured to control reset timing of electric charges accumulated in the imager in accordance with the imaging period of the imager; a storage configured to store therein taken images by the imager with the reset timing controlled; and a reading controller configured to read and output the taken images stored in the storage with a reproduction speed corresponding to the standard imaging period.
