Abstract

See full text

A difference between a movement represented by a signal representing a movement of an image capture apparatus and each of motion vectors detected between images is calculated. Then, a motion vector determined to have a temporal variation in the difference smaller than a preset threshold value is determined as a background area motion vector. Also, from among motion vectors other than the background area motion vector, a subject area motion vector is determined. Then, image stabilization is controlled based on the subject area motion vector. It is thereby possible to enhance the accuracy of distinguishing motion vectors.
