Imaging apparatus, control method of imaging apparatus, and storage medium storing control program of imaging apparatus for performing focus detection and display
An imaging apparatus includes a pixel array, a first adder, a second adder, a first A/D converter circuit, and a second A/D converter circuit. The pixel array includes a plurality of pairs of first pixels and second pixels. Each pair of the first pixel and the second pixel receives a light flux passing through a photography optical system by pupil-dividing the light flux. The first adder adds outputs of the first pixels and outputs of the second pixels. The second adder generates a first output by adding the outputs of the first pixels and generates a second output by adding the outputs of the second pixels. The first A/D converter circuit converts an output of the first adder to a digital signal. The second A/D converter circuit converts an output of the second adder to a digital signal.
MIXED REALITY GLASSES WHICH DISPLAY VIRTUAL OBJECTS THAT MOVE NATURALLY THROUGHOUT A COMPLETE FIELD OF VIEW OF A USER
A system enables near eye, see-through display of computer generated images (CGIs) to a user. The system includes see-through projection devices, an IMU device and a processor. The see-through projection devices are mounted within a frame of glasses worn on the head of the user. Each device includes a central field display to project the CGIs within the user's central field of view and a peripheral display to project the CGIs within the rest of a human field of view not including the central field of view. The peripheral display is disposed proximate the user's eye and the central field display is centrally disposed behind the peripheral display. The IMU device is mounted on the glasses to measure where the user's head is facing. The processor splits the CGIs between the central and peripheral displays based on where the virtual object is to be projected into the real world and where the user is facing.
Focus detection apparatus, control method thereof, and storage medium storing program
Light quantity information of an imaging optical system is acquired according to a focus detection position in an imaging screen. Conversion is performed from the light quantity information and a first aperture value of the imaging optical system, so that the first aperture value is converted into a second aperture value according to the focus detection position. A conversion coefficient is set according to the second aperture value and an exit pupil distance. A correction value to correct output signals from an imaging unit is obtained according to the second aperture value and an exit pupil distance.
Imaging apparatus, control method and non-transitory storage medium
According to an aspect of the invention, an imaging apparatus includes: a focus detection unit configured to execute focus detection based on a phase difference between image signals obtained through photoelectric conversion of a light flux passing through different pupil partial regions of an imaging optical system; a first image blur compensation unit configured to compensate for image blur; a second image blur compensation unit configured to compensate for image blur; and a control unit that controls driving of the first image blur compensation unit and the second image blur compensation unit. The control unit controls a driving amount of the first image blur compensation unit and a driving amount of the second image blur compensation unit such that a change in vignetting occurring in the light flux passing through the imaging optical system is equal to or less than a predetermined value during a period in which the focus detection unit executes the focus detection.
