Abstract:
1. An image pickup device comprising: an optical system having a wide angle, wherein at least magnification chromatic aberration is large; an image sensor configured to read an image picked up through the optical system; and a magnification chromatic aberration correction unit configured to perform magnification chromatic aberration correction by performing coordinate conversion on the image read by the image sensor, wherein: the magnification chromatic aberration correction unit includes plural coordinate conversion parameters used for the magnification chromatic aberration correction, and switches a coordinate conversion parameter used for the magnification chromatic aberration correction in an event that there is a change in a light source or an illumination light, and the coordinate conversion parameters are parameters that are used for coordinate conversion for correcting chromatic aberration that is caused according to a type of light source or illumination light.
