Like this, from many images, be chosen in the high image (step S43) of frequency in the above-mentioned determinating area E1, generate index and show, carry out many index and show (step S45), return then with image (step S44).
In this step S45, show many index picture 100 for example shown in Figure 10, yet control circuit 40 is judged the highest image of frequency in above-mentioned determinating area E1 among the image A 1～A5 shown in each epimere of previous Fig. 9 (a) to (e), promptly image A 3 is suitable optimal mode images in this embodiment, in order to give the user, it is carried out highlighted demonstration in picture 100 with this cued visual.In addition, this highlighted display mode variety of way such as can adopt that white edge, green fringing, edge are lighted.
In addition, the processing of Fig. 8 also can improve in the following manner.
Promptly, in the example of Fig. 8, the image that frequency is high in determinating area E1 is chosen as optimized image, yet can replace this determinating area E1, and complete black determinating area E2 shown in the hypomere of employing Figure 11 (a) and full determinating area E3 in vain, deceiving the high image of the interior frequency of determinating area E2 entirely as the high image of the possibility that is all black picture, the high image of the frequency in the complete white determinating area E3 as being the high image of possibility of image in vain entirely, from the viewpoint of reporting to the police, can in picture shown in Figure 12 200, carry out alarm indication to these images.In this case, in the flow chart of earlier figures 8, the processing of step 42 and 43 changed into according to determinating area E2 and E3 select all black picture and complete white treatment of picture.
In (e), each epimere is illustrated in and surrounds each captured image B 1～B5 under the burst mode at Figure 11 (a), and hypomere illustrates the histogrammic operation result of this image.According to this operation result, it is the highest to be judged as image B 1 frequency in determinating area E2 in this embodiment, promptly, it is the possibility height of all black picture, and it is the highest to be judged as image B 5 frequency in determinating area E3, that is, be the possibility height of complete white image, in the demonstration of the picture 200 of Figure 12, by white or red fringing or light to wait and hint.
Be described in detail as above, according to an embodiment of the invention, because can be at by each side as many obtained images of the imaging apparatus 14 of above-mentioned image unit as control circuit 40 grades of selected cell, be chosen in image captured under the optimum exposure condition according to histogram, above-mentioned many images are had a guide look of on the monitor 16 that is presented at as display unit, and above-mentioned selected image can be shown according to the form different with other images, thereby can select optimized image rapidly.Perhaps, as long as select complete white image or all black picture, just can select the object that to wipe rapidly according to above-mentioned histogram.
