Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit having a predetermined pixel array, and a generation unit configured to generate a test video signal for evaluating consistency between a video signal generated by performing predetermined processing on a video signal output from the imaging unit, and the video signal output from the imaging unit. In the test video signal, a signal value of each pixel is set so as to exhaustively cover signal values within a predetermined range in a direction in a video image of the test video signal. The test video signal has a repetition pattern in the direction in the video image of the test video signal. A signal deviating from regularity of the repetition pattern is inserted at a predetermined position in the repetition pattern. The spatially or temporally adjacent repetition patterns have different phases from each other.
