An image pickup apparatus includes an image sensor, a memory device, and a processor. The image sensor includes first pixels and second pixels that are arranged two-dimensionally and that respectively receive visible light and invisible light entering through an image pickup optical system. Each of the first pixels and the second pixels has photoelectric conversion elements that receive light beams passing through different pupil areas of the image pickup optical system. The memory device stores instructions. The processor executes the instructions to detect focus detection results from signals output from the first pixels and signals output from the second pixels, determine a lens position of the image pickup optical system based on the focus detection results, and determine an exposure condition of a time of image pickup with the image sensor according to the focus detection results.

An innovative image acquisition device is disclosed, providing an effective solution for maximizing information density, while reducing color artifacts. The device of the invention relies on selective wavelength absorption, in certain substances. The novel solution utilizes two photosite arrays, or sensors, separated by an absorption layer, of predetermined thickness. Thus, an incident light beam strikes the two sensors in different proportions, exposing one array to the unaltered incident light, while the light striking the other array is partially absorbed. Light intensity ratio, between corresponding photosites on the two sensors uniquely identifies the incident light wavelength, and subsequently its color.

The present invention relates to a three-dimensional image obtainment device capable of measuring a spatial structure for a target, like surrounding geographical features, an object of shooting, and so on, using just a simple movement by having a laser beam irradiation module configured to irradiate a laser beam from an inner side of a main body housing to a side of the target, a beam splitter, a TOF reception sensor, and a red-green-blue (RGB) image sensor capable of sensing a color image.
