An image-capturing device includes: a photographic optical system; a photoelectric conversion element array made up with a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements arrayed therein; a micro-lens array made up with a plurality of micro-lenses arrayed therein; a data creation unit that creates pixel data at a plurality of pixels on a specific image forming plane by applying filter matrix data to output signals provided from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements; and an image synthesis unit that synthetically generates an image on the specific image forming plane at a given position assumed along an optical axis of the photographic optical system, based upon the pixel data. The filter matrix data assume a two-dimensional data array pattern conforming to a specific intensity distribution with a distribution center thereof set at an element corresponding to a central position of a projection image of each of the plurality of pixels.
An image processing device that synthetically generates an image of a subject on a given focal plane based upon output data of a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements corresponding to each of a plurality of micro-lenses, the image processing device comprising:
An image-capturing device that includes a plurality of micro-lenses and an image sensor receiving light from a subject, which has been transmitted through an optical system, by a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements corresponding to each of the plurality of micro-lenses and synthetically generates an image of the subject on a given focal plane based upon output data of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements corresponding to each of the plurality of micro-lenses, the image-capturing device comprising:
