Abstract: An imaging device includes an imaging optical system configured to capture a plurality of images of an object; a sensor configured to detect a tilt of the imaging device with respect to a reference direction; and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to set a fixed amount of correction to be commonly applied to the plurality of images, based on the detected tilt; and correct the tilt of each of the plurality of images using the fixed amount of correction.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus including a storage unit, a correction unit, and an output unit. The storage unit stores moving-image data including a plurality of frames captured by an image-capturing device communicable with the image processing apparatus, time-series data of an inclination angle with reference to a reference direction of the image-capturing device, and time-series data of an angle velocity of the image-capturing device. The correction unit, based on the time-series data of the angle velocity, rotates an image of each of the plurality of frames of the moving-image data to reduce a rotational distortion around the reference direction within a prescribed frequency range. The output unit outputs image data of the rotated image of each of the plurality of frames to an external device communicable with the image processing apparatus.

Abstract: An image-stabilization apparatus is provided that includes an image stabilizer and a status-determining processor. The image stabilizer counterbalances a camera shake in accordance with sensor signals from a shake-detecting sensor. The status-determining processor determines whether a status of the camera is in a fixed state or in a unstable state on the basis of the signals. The status determination process is carried out at the time of exposure and the characteristics of an image-stabilizing operation are altered according to the results of the status determination process.
