Abstract

By a conventional technique, it is not possible to provide an image refocused accurately at a desired subject distance. An image processing device is characterized by including an image data acquiring unit configured to acquire calibration image data obtained by an image capturing device including an aperture to adjust an amount of incident light, a lens array in which a plurality of lenses is arranged, and an image sensing element to photoelectrically convert an image of a subject via the lens array and obtained in a state where the aperture is stopped down in accordance with an instruction of calibration; and a unit configured to acquire a position of an image on the image sensing element corresponding to each of the lenses based on the calibration image data.
