Abstract
An imaging unit images an object through an imaging optical system so as to acquire image data. A depth map acquiring unit acquires information relating to a depth distribution of an object as depth map data. The resolution of depth map data is relatively lower than the resolution of image data which has been imaged. A depth map shaping unit references image data of an object so as to conform to the resolution of a depth map, when it performs shaping of the depth map based on image data of the object.
