AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing 360-degree cameras face limitations in image blur correction for rotations around axes perpendicular to the optical axis, particularly when capturing images with smaller angles of view.
Method used
An imaging device using multiple lenses with attitude detection capabilities, enabling and disabling specific lenses based on the device's posture to stabilize images within a smaller angle of view, and reducing power consumption by selectively activating necessary lenses.
Benefits of technology
Enhances image blur correction capabilities and reduces power consumption by dynamically enabling only the required lenses for image stabilization, improving image quality and efficiency.

Abstract
To improve an image blur correction function in generating an image with an angle of view smaller than that of an omnidirectional image, in an imaging apparatus capable of generating an omnidirectional image by using a plurality of imaging lenses, and a control method of the imaging apparatus.SOLUTION: The imaging apparatus is capable of generating an omnidirectional image by using a plurality of imaging lenses. In an operation mode of generating an image with an angle of view smaller than that of the omnidirectional image, the imaging apparatus identifies an imaging range required to generate the image, on the basis of the difference between a reference posture and a present posture. Then, the imaging apparatus validates the imaging lenses required to image the imaging range and invalidates the imaging lenses not required to image the imaging range, among the plurality of imaging lenses.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
