An image in a direction corresponding to the detected direction of the face or line-of-sight of the driver is selected as an output image, and displayed on the display unit. Alternatively, an image in a direction indicated by a gesture of the driver is selected, and displayed on the display unit.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method capable of effectively eliminating flicker are provided. Flicker which occurs in a captured image captured under a lighting environment such as a fluorescent light having a luminance change is effectively eliminated or reduced. A short exposure image and a long exposure image, which are images captured with at least two different exposure periods, are input, a short exposure image row profile having integrated values of a row-by-row signal quantity of the short exposure image and a reference profile having integrated values of a row-by-row signal quantity of the long exposure image are generated, a flicker correction waveform is generated by a division process on the short exposure image row profile by the reference profile or the like, and a corrected image is generated whose flicker components have been eliminated by a process of multiplying pixel values of each of the rows of the short exposure image by a row-by-row coefficient defined by the flicker correction waveform.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method which enable effective removal of flicker are provided. Under an illumination environment such as a fluorescent lamp with luminance variation, flicker that occurs in images shot with an X-Y address scanning type imaging device such as a CMOS is effectively removed or reduced. The integral value of the row-by-row signal intensity of an image to be corrected from which to remove flicker is calculated, and this integral value is used to detect flicker components contained in individual rows of an image frame. The detected flicker components represent data according to the actual flicker waveform of the illumination, and a correction process is executed using flicker correction coefficients formed by an anti-phase pattern of the flicker components. Effective flicker removal becomes possible through this process.
