Abstract:
1. A light field image capture device comprising: an image sensor in which a plurality of unit blocks, each including first and second types of pixels that have mutually different spectral transmittance characteristics, are arranged on an imaging area; a light-transmitting section that is arranged so as to face the imaging area of the image sensor and that has a first light-transmitting area comprised of multiple partial areas that are separated from each other and a second light-transmitting area having a different spectral transmittance characteristic from the first light-transmitting area; and an imaging section that includes at least a first imaging area having a first focal length and a second imaging area having a second focal length that is longer than the first focal length, and wherein the distance from the light-transmitting section to the imaging section is equal to the first focal length and the distance from the imaging area of the image sensor to the imaging section is equal to the second focal length.
