Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: an imaging element including plural pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit that converts light collected by a microlens into an electric charge, the plural pixels include first pixels in each of which the microlens is shared with an adjacent pixel and second pixels different from the first pixels; and a processor that is configured to determine, based on a first pixel value of one of the first pixels and a second pixel value of one of the second pixels, whether abnormal light incident on the one of the first pixels is present.
Claims17
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an imaging element including a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit that converts light collected by a microlens into an electric charge, the plurality of pixels including first pixels in each of which the microlens is shared with an adjacent pixel and second pixels each of which is a pixel that has the microlens that is not shared with an adjacent pixel, wherein the microlens that collects light onto the first pixel and the adjacent pixel has a larger planar shape than the microlens that collects light only onto the second pixel;
- and
- a processor that is configured to determine, based on a ratio or a difference between a first pixel value of one of the first pixels and a second pixel value of one of the second pixels, whether abnormal light incident on the one of the first pixels is present.
An information processing method for processing an output of an imaging element including a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit that converts light collected by a microlens into an electric charge, the plurality of pixels including first pixels in each of which the microlens is shared with an adjacent pixel and second pixels each of which is a pixel that has the microlens that is not shared with an adjacent pixel,
- wherein the microlens that collects light onto the first pixel and the adjacent pixel has a larger planar shape than the microlens that collects light only onto the second pixel, and
- the information processing method comprises:
- determining, based on a ratio or a difference between a first pixel value of one of the first pixels and a second pixel value of one of the second pixels, whether abnormal light incident on the one of the first pixels is present.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a information processing program for processing an output of an imaging element including a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit that converts light collected by a microlens into an electric charge, the plurality of pixels including first pixels in each of which the microlens is shared with an adjacent pixel and second pixels each of which is a pixel that has the microlens that is not shared with an adjacent pixel,
- wherein the microlens that collects light onto the first pixel and the adjacent pixel has a larger planar shape than the microlens that collects light only onto the second pixel, and
- the information processing program causes a processor to execute:
- determining, based on a ratio or a difference between a first pixel value of one of the first pixels and a second pixel value of one of the second pixels, whether abnormal light incident on the one of the first pixels is present.
