Abstract:
1. A decoding method for decoding coded light ray information including positional information on a predetermined surface and angular information on the light ray incident to the surface, when a light ray from a subject is incident to the surface, the method comprising: decoding coded first image information and coded second image information different from the first image information, the first image information and the second image information being obtained in taking the subject and associated with the subject; generating the light ray information based on the decoded first image information and second image information; generating image information based on the generated light ray information, the image information corresponding to a first focus value in taking the subject; storing the image information corresponding to the first focus value in a storage medium; displaying an image based on the image information corresponding to the first focus value; generating image information based on the generated light ray information, the image information corresponding to a second focus value different from the first focus value; and storing the image information corresponding to the second focus value in the storage medium, wherein the image information corresponding to the second focus value is generated and stored, while the image is displayed or before the image is displayed.
