Patent ID: 10075687

Abstract:
The present technology relates to an imaging apparatus, an imaging method, and a program that are capable of obtaining a higher-quality luminance image. The imaging apparatus captures a luminance image with a monochrome image sensor and also captures a color image with a color image sensor. A magnification aberration amount determination unit analyzes the amount of magnification chromatic aberration of each image height position on the basis of information on magnification chromatic aberration of a lens unit. A recording image selection unit selects the luminance image captured with the monochrome image sensor or a luminance image obtained from the color image captured with the color image sensor on the basis of the result of the analysis on the amount of magnification chromatic aberration, and sets the selected luminance image as a recording image. When a luminance image is selected in accordance with the amount of magnification chromatic aberration in such a manner, a high-quality recording image with less blurring resulting from the magnification chromatic aberration can be obtained. The present technology can be applied to a digital still camera.
