Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a first pixel output variation detecting section, a second pixel output variation detecting section, and a pixel correcting section. The first pixel output variation detecting section detects a variation between pixel outputs of the phase difference detecting pixel and the imaging pixel of the same color as the phase difference detecting pixel. The second pixel output variation detecting section detects a variation in pixel output between imaging pixels positioned in vicinities of the phase difference detecting pixel and the imaging pixel used by the first pixel output variation detecting section. The pixel correcting section corrects the pixel output of each phase difference detecting pixel based on results of the first and second pixel output variation detecting sections.
