ABSTRACT:
An image capturing apparatus provided to a movable body for capturing a clear image without blurring even if it is the case where it is moving. The image capturing apparatus includes: an image capturing unit which captures an image; a speed measurement unit which measures a speed of the movable body; a displacement calculating unit which calculates a displacement of a region indicating a subject which exists in an angle-of-view of the image capturing unit in an image captured by the image capturing unit based on the speed during an exposure time of the image capturing unit; a capturing magnification rate-of-change calculating unit which calculates a rate-of-change of a capturing magnification of the image capturing unit, wherein the capturing magnification rate-of-change calculating unit compensates the displacement; a capturing magnification control unit which controls the capturing magnification in order to change it by the rate-of-change; and a capturing timing control unit which makes the image capturing unit capture an image while the capturing magnification changing by the rate-of-change.
