Title:
LIGHT FIELD IMAGING DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/042323
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This imaging device is provided with: an imaging element (2) containing a first type of pixel and a second type of pixel having mutually different spectral transmission factor characteristics; a light transmission section (1) disposed in a manner so as to face the imaging surface of the imaging element (2); and an image formation unit (3) having at least a first image formation region having a first focal distance and a second image formation region having a second focal distance that is longer than the first focal distance. The light transmission section (1) has a first light transmission region (1a) configured from a plurality of mutually separated partial regions, and a second light transmission region (1b) having different spectral transmission factor characteristics from the first light transmission region (1a). The distance between the light transmission section (1) and the image formation unit (3) is equivalent to the first focal distance (f1) and the distance between the imaging surface of the imaging element (2) and the image formation unit (3) is equivalent to the second focal distance (f2).
