Abstract
This image capture device includes an image capturing section 100 which captures two images in mutually different exposure times, and an image processing section 220 which performs restoration processing on the images that have been captured by the image capturing section 100. The image processing section 220 includes a blur kernel determining section which determines a blur kernel that defines the camera-shake-induced motion blur of the image captured; and an image restoration section which generates the restored image. The blur kernel determining section changes the size of the blur kernel according to the exposure time in which the image is captured.
