Abstract:
1. An image pickup unit, comprising: an image pickup lens; an image pickup device, configured to acquire imaging data based on light rays passing through the image pickup lens; and an image processing section configured to perform image processing to a picked-up image based on the imaging data, wherein the image processing section includes: a storage section, including a plurality of line memories, configured to store the imaging data in a plurality of line memories to hold the imaging data; and a correction coefficient selection section configured to select one of a plurality of blur correction coefficients, from a holding section, depending on object distances from the image pickup lens to a subject, and to output a selected blur correction coefficient to a deblurring processing section, wherein the deblurring processing section is configured to perform blur correction to the picked-up image, from the storage section, using the selected blur correction coefficient selected by the correction coefficient selection section, and to output a deblurred image; and a number of line memories in the storage section is set depending on a size of the selected blur correction coefficient used in the deblurring processing section.
