Abstract
In order to perform imaging operation control in which a defocus amount and a depth of field in any certain region of a captured image are taken into consideration, a map data generation unit configured to generate defocus map data which is calculated from phase difference information detected by a phase difference detection unit and indicates defocus amounts at a plurality of positions of a captured image by an imaging element unit; and an operation control unit configured to perform imaging operation control using the defocus map data generated by the map data generation unit are included.
Claims20
An image processing device comprising:
- a map data generation unit configured to generate defocus map data which is calculated from phase difference information detected by a phase difference detection unit and indicates defocus amounts at a plurality of positions of a captured image by an imaging element unit;
- and
- an operation control unit configured to perform imaging operation control using the defocus map data generated by the map data generation unit.
An image processing method comprising:
- generating defocus map data which is calculated from phase difference information detected by a phase difference detection unit and indicates defocus amounts at a plurality of positions of a captured image by an imaging element unit;
- and
- performing imaging operation control using the generated defocus map data.
A program causing an image processing device to perform:
- a map data generation function of generating defocus map data which is calculated from phase difference information detected by a phase difference detection unit and indicates defocus amounts at a plurality of positions of a captured image by an imaging element unit;
- and
- an operation control function of performing imaging operation control using the defocus map data generated by the map data generation function.
An imaging device comprising:
- an imaging element unit configured to perform imaging;
- a map data generation unit configured to generate defocus map data which is calculated from phase difference information detected by a phase difference detection unit and indicates defocus amounts at a plurality of positions of a captured image by the imaging element unit;
- and
- an operation control unit configured to perform imaging operation control using the defocus map data generated by the map data generation unit.
