Image synthesis device and computer program for image synthesis for synthesizing a plurality of images of different exposure times

摘要

An image synthesis device includes: a first pixel selection unit which selects, from a first filter area around a pixel of interest on a first image, a first pixel having a value within a first allowable range including a value of a pixel of interest; a second pixel selection unit which sets a second filter area around a reference pixel located on a second image having a longer exposure time than the first image in the same position as the pixel of interest, and selects, from the second filter area, a second pixel having a value within a second allowable range including the value of the pixel of interest; and a synthesis unit which sets a synthetic value, acquired by synthesizing the values of the first and the second pixel, as the value of a pixel on the synthetic image in the same position as the pixel of interest.
