<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image pickup device capable of producing an image set to an arbitrary focus at higher speed than in the conventional case based on image pickup data acquired so as to also include information about the traveling direction of a light beam. <P>SOLUTION: An image processing section 14 produces a refocus image based on image pickup data D0 obtained from an image pickup device 13. In this case, a rearrangement processing section 142 produces image pickup data D2 comprised of a plurality of arbitrary viewpoint images V1-V9 based on image pickup data D1. The image pickup data D2 is stored in a data storage section 17. After that, a plurality of pixel data stored at pixel positions (addresses) adjacent to one another are collectively read out from each of the arbitrary viewpoint images V1-V9 in a reconfiguration image composition section 145. Thus, data transfer frequencies from the data storage section 17 to the image processing section 14 to be required becomes fewer in comparison with the conventional case when the refocus image is produced based on the plurality of pixel data. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
