ABSTRACT:
In an image-capturing apparatus and image-capturing method which can, in electronic image blur correction, correct camera motion-caused blurring occurring in one frame, an image-capturing apparatus (100) includes: a first picture feature amount transforming unit (104) transforming picture feature amount of input picture (117); a blur detecting unit105detecting blurring by evaluating input picture feature amount (118) chronologically; a blur synthesizing unit (107) artificially causing blurring in blur-free image-captured picture (129) by using blur model (124), and generating blur-synthesized picture (130); a blur removal picture feature amount replacement table unit (110) for replacing picture feature amount of a blurred picture with picture feature amount of a blur-free picture; and a closest-picture feature amount detecting unit (113) outputting, as blur-removed picture feature vector picture (133), picture feature amount of a blur-free image-captured picture that pairs with picture feature amount closest to picture feature amount of input picture feature amount (118).
