Abstract
An imaging device includes an optics, an image sensor, and a processor including hardware. The optics includes a first pupil and a second pupil. The image sensor includes a first-color filter that has first transmittance characteristics, a second-color filter that has second transmittance characteristics, and a third-color filter that has third transmittance characteristics. The processor is configured to implement a correction process that corrects a pixel value that corresponds to a first color and a pixel value that corresponds to a third color based on a component value that corresponds to the overlapping region of the first transmittance characteristics and the third transmittance characteristics, and a phase difference detection process that detects the phase difference between an image formed by the corrected pixel value that corresponds to the first color and an image formed by the corrected pixel value that corresponds to the third color.
