Abstract: According to one embodiment, an imaging apparatus includes an image sensor, image generation circuitry, calculation circuitry and superimposition circuitry. The image generation circuitry successively generates a first image and a second image. The calculation circuitry calculates a first parameter to allow brightness of the first image to be equal to or close to a predetermined value, and calculates a second parameter relating to brightness of the second image based on the first parameter and a predetermined ratio. The superimposition circuitry generates a composite image by superimposing the second image in which the brightness is adjusted using the second parameter onto the first image in which the brightness is adjusted using the first parameter.

Abstract: An imaging device according to an embodiment includes an image sensor, and processing circuitry. The image sensor is a rolling-shutter type image sensor that includes a plurality of pixels that are arranged in a matrix and generate an electric signal due to light received and, on a frame-to-frame basis, repeatedly performs a process to sequentially start to conduct exposure on at least every line, starting from the first line of the pixels to the last line, and output the electric signal sequentially from the line for which exposure has been completed. The processing circuitry causes the pixels to receive light during only a period based on the blanking period that corresponds to the period from when the output of the electric signal from the last line is finished until the output of the electric signal from the first line is started. The processing circuitry generates images in accordance with the electric signal.
