Image pickup apparatus, image pickup apparatus control method, and program

摘要

There is provided an image pickup apparatus including: a control unit generating exposure time control data in which an exposure time of an image sensor is set in pixel region units; and an image sensor inputting the exposure time control data and carrying out image acquisition based on exposure time control in the pixel region units. The control unit successively and sequentially generates the exposure time control data in region units based on luminance information in the pixel region units that form part of a preceding picked-up image and outputs the exposure time control data to the image sensor. The image sensor inputs the exposure time control data in the region units from the control unit and successively and sequentially uses the inputted exposure time control data to carry out the image acquisition based on the exposure time control in the pixel region units.

1. An image pickup apparatus comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
generate region-specific exposure time control data in which an exposure time of an image sensor is individually set in respective pixel region units of a plurality of pixel region units, wherein the exposure time of the image sensor is set in the respective pixel region units independent of information of the plurality of pixel region units;input the region-specific exposure time control data and carry out image acquisition based on exposure time control in the respective pixel region units of the plurality of pixel region units;successively and sequentially generate the region-specific exposure time control data in individual region units; andinput the region-specific exposure time control data in the individual region units and successively and sequentially use the inputted region-specific exposure time control data to carry out the image acquisition based on the exposure time control in the respective pixel region units of the plurality of pixel region units.
