Abstract
An imaging device acquires an image and relevant information of a subject related to the image in a depth direction and performs image processing. A distance information generation unit generates a distribution of additional information (a defocus map, a distance map, etc.) related to the image. A distortion/blur correction unit performs deformation processing on the acquired image and performs deformation processing on the distribution of the additional information according to the deformation of the image. A color information conversion processing unit performs processing of converting the distribution of the additional information into color information. A superimposition processing unit outputs an image obtained by superimposing image information, which has been obtained by converting the distribution of the additional information into the color information, on the deformation-processed captured image to a display unit.
