  • Publication number: 20160198105
    Abstract: The invention provides an image processing device, an imaging device, an image processing method, and a non-transitory computer readable recording medium recorded with an image processing program which can ensure a split image with a simple structure. A control unit selects the pixels in a 3n-th (n is an integer equal to or greater than 0) row as a first pixel group which functions as left phase difference pixels and reads a signal charge generated in a photodiode (PDL). The control unit selects the pixels in a (3n+2)-th row as a second pixel group which functions as right phase difference pixels and reads a signal charge generated in a photodiode (PDR). The control unit selects the pixels in a (3n+1)-th row as a third pixel group which functions as normal pixels, adds the signal charges generated in the photodiodes (PDL and PDR) and reads the sum of the signal charges.

  • Publication number: 20160191824
    Abstract: The invention provides an image processing device, an imaging device, an image processing method, and a non-transitory computer readable recording medium recorded with an image processing program that can instantaneously correct shading characteristics. A correction unit calculates a shading characteristic correction coefficient based on a first comparison result and a second comparison result and corrects the shading characteristics of a subsequent frame based on the calculated coefficient. The first comparison result indicates the result of the comparison between a phase difference image and a normal image included in a preceding frame acquired first a pair of frames acquired at different times. The second comparison result indicates the result of the comparison between a phase difference image and a normal image included in the subsequent frame. A control unit directs a display device to continuously display the subsequent frame, of which the shading characteristics have been corrected, as a moving image.

  • Publication number: 20150381883
    Abstract: Provided are an image processing device, an imaging device, and an image processing method which can perform focusing control using an intuitive operation. First and second images based on image signals that are output from an imaging element including first and second pixel groups on which an object image that passes through first and second regions of an imaging lens and is pupil-divided is formed are combined and displayed on a display unit having a touch panel. It is detected whether an operation of selecting the first or the second image on the display image is performed. It is detected whether a moving operation in a direction intersecting a division direction is performed. When the selection operation and the moving operation are sequentially detected, control is performed such that a focus lens is moved in an optical axis direction of the focus lens in response to the moving operation.
