Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: an obtaining unit configured to obtain raw moving image data shot by an image sensing apparatus in which respective pixels of image signals of each frame correspond to light beams having different pupil regions through which the light beams have passed in an imaging optical system of the image sensing apparatus; a detection unit configured to detect a position of a subject to be focused on in a frame of the raw moving image data obtained by said obtaining unit; a decision unit configured to decide a refocus plane at which the subject is focused on; and a generation unit configured to generate, from the raw moving image data, a moving image in which a frame is focused on at the refocus plane decided by said decision unit, wherein said decision unit generates, from the image signals of a frame of the raw moving image data, a pair of images respectively corresponding to light beams having passed through different pupil regions of the imaging optical system, and decides, based on a defocus amount at a position of the subject that is calculated from the pair of images, the refocus plane at which the subject is focused on.
