<p>In a still-image camera for taking a plurality of still-images of divisions of an object area and synthesizing said still images to obtain a highly fine image, an improvement is made to realize more saving in memory capacity and in processing time for image synthesizing, assuring real-time image processing at a reduced cost. A still-image camera comprises an image input portion (11) for picking-up a plurality of still-pictures of divisions of an object area; a divided image compressing portion (12) for generating compressed divided-area images by compressing the divided still-images inputted from the image input portion (11); a synthesizing information extracting portion (13) from the divided-area images inputted from the image input portion before compression. And comprises further, an compressed divided-image storage (14) for storing therein compressed divided-area images; a compressed divided-image synthesizing portion (15) for synthesizing compressed divided-area images stored in the compressed divided-image storage (14) to a compressed entire-area image according to the synthesizing information extracted from the divided-area images by the synthesizing information extracting portion (13). <IMAGE></p> |
