IMAGING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME

摘要

Provided is an imaging apparatus that includes a plurality of imaging elements having a plurality of PDs, where each of the plurality of PDs photoelectrically converts a light flux having passed through a different region of an exit pupil of an imaging optical system and output a left-eye image/right-eye image. The imaging apparatus generates a composite image based on the left-eye image and the right-eye image, calculates a positional shift amount of the left-eye image relative to a position of the composite image as a parallax amount, and stores information regarding the parallax amount as a parallax map. The imaging apparatus generates a left-eye image and a right-eye image to be reproduced by shifting an object included in the composite image to a position corresponding to the parallax amount indicated by the parallax map.

主权项

1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
an imaging element comprising a plurality of pixels each having a first photoelectric conversion unit configured to output a left-eye image by photoelectrically converting a light flux having passed through a region of an exit pupil of an imaging optical system and a second photoelectric conversion unit configured to output a right-eye image by photoelectrically converting a light flux having passed through a region different from the region of the exit pupil; a first image generation unit configured to generate a composite image by adding the left-eye image output by the first photoelectric conversion unit and the right-eye image output by the second photoelectric conversion unit for each pixel; a parallax calculation unit configured to calculate a positional shift amount of the left-eye image/right-eye image relative to a position of the generated composite image as a parallax amount and store the calculated parallax amount in a storage unit; and a second image generation unit configured to generate a left-eye image and a right-eye image to be reproduced by shifting an object included in the generated composite image to a position corresponding to the parallax amount stored in the storage unit.
