  • Publication number: 20210398291
    Abstract: A first motion vector detection unit 50-1 detects a motion vector on the basis of self-motion data Dm of a sensor unit 15 and depth image data S which is generated by the sensor unit 15 and of which the definition is enhanced by a depth processing unit 30. A second motion vector detection unit 60 detects a motion vector on the basis of captured image data Isp detected by the sensor unit 15. A motion vector detection and merging unit 70 merges the motion vector detected by the first motion vector detection unit 50-1 with the motion vector detected by the second motion vector detection unit 60. Even in a case where it is difficult to detect a motion vector on the basis of captured image data owing to the presence of a flat portion or a dark portion in an image, it is possible to accurately detect a motion vector on the basis of the self-motion data Dm and the depth image data S.
