Image capture device, pixel output level compensation method for same, infrared camera system, and interchangeable lens system

摘要

An image capture device and method for correcting output levels thereof, made up of an image shifter for moving an image position on a light receiving surface, having a differential calculating section for calculating the differential between the output levels of pixels receiving light from the same part of an image on a light-receiving surface before and after moving the image position; an offset amount calculating section for calculating the amount of offset to the output levels of pixels in a pixel line by sequentially adding the differences in output levels in pixel lines arrayed in the direction of image position movement; and a correcting section for correcting pixel output levels by equalizing the variability in output levels between pixels in a pixel line based on the amount of pixel offset in the pixel line.
