COMPOUND-EYE IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compound-eye imaging apparatus capable of performing an image processing which generates an image with a desired high resolution in a short time.SOLUTION: The apparatus comprises: plural individual-eye imaging optical systems; an imaging device 60 which forms plural object images corresponding to the individual-eye imaging optical systems; an image generating processor 91b which processes plural individual eyes images corresponding to the plural object images outputted from the imaging device 60; a resolution power storage unit 92a where resolution power information relating to the resolution power of the plural individual-eye imaging optical systems is stored in advance; and an individual-eye selector 91a which selects an individual eye image to use for the processing by the image generating processor 91b, on the basis of the stored resolution power information. 【課題】短時間で望ましい高解像度の画像生成を行う画像処理が可能な複眼撮像装置を提供する。【解決手段】複数の個眼撮像光学系と、個眼撮像光学系に対応する複数の物体像が結像される撮像素子６０と、撮像素子６０から出力される複数の物体像に対応する複数の個眼像を処理する画像生成処理部９１ｂと、複数の個眼撮像光学系の解像力に関する解像力情報が予め記憶された解像力記憶部９２ａと、記憶された解像力情報に基づき、画像生成処理部９１ｂでの処理に使用する個眼像を選択する個眼選択部９１ａと、を備える。【選択図】図４
