IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS AND SEMICONDUCTOR CIRCUIT ELEMENT

摘要

An image pickup apparatus of the present invention includes: a lens array having a plurality of lenses; a plurality of image pickup regions disposed to correspond to the plurality of lenses one-to-one and each having a light receiving surface substantially perpendicular to a direction in which an optical axis of the corresponding lens extends; a temperature sensor (126) disposed in the vicinity of the lens array to detect a temperature; a movement distance estimating portion (139) configured to estimate movement distances of all the optical axes of the plurality of lenses based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor (126); an image pickup signal correcting portion (135) configured to correct an image pickup signal, generated in the image pickup region, based on the movement distances estimated by the movement distance estimating portion (139); and a parallax calculating portion (142) configured to calculate a parallax based on the image pickup signal corrected by the image pickup signal correcting portion (135).
