IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS, IMAGE CAPTURING SYSTEM, AND IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD

摘要

An image capturing apparatus comprises: an optical system that imparts aberration to incident light; an image capturing unit that transforms the light having passed through the optical system to pixels and captures an image; and an inverse transforming unit that performs inverse transform processing on a captured image captured by the image capturing unit in a given range on an optical axis of the optical system by an inverse transform filter that restores the aberration so as to extend a depth of field, wherein the optical system and the image capturing unit are disposed to form an in-focus plane with an in-focus position stretched in a direction of the optical axis, and the inverse transforming unit extends the depth of field at each position of the in-focus plane.
