First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image synthesizing device comprising:
- an image capturing unit configured to capture a plurality of images that are temporally continuous;
an image generator configured to generate a single synthesized image by adding pixels of the plurality of images;
a first difference obtaining unit configured to obtain differences between the plurality of images on pixel-by-pixel basis for each of the plurality images; and
a blending unit configured to employ the differences between the plurality of images as transparency information and blend the transparency information into the synthesized image.
