IMAGE SENSING APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM OF IMAGE SENSING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An image sensing apparatus, comprising:
- an image sensing unit configured to sense an object image and output image signals;
a shift amount detecting unit configured to detect a shift amount between two image signals, from said image signals that are sequentially output by said image sensing unit;
an image signal synthesizing unit configured to sequentially synthesize said image signals based on detection results of said shift amount detecting unit, and generate a synthesized image signal that has been corrected by said shift amount; and
a memory unit configured to accumulate said synthesized image signal,wherein said image signal synthesizing unit performs level adjustment of a signal level, the level adjustment varying for each area of said two image signals that are to be synthesized, and generates said synthesized image signal.
