Abstract:
An imaging device includes: an imaging element; a lens disposed on a path of incident light to the imaging element; an actuator configured to displace the lens in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis; a position detecting element configured to generate a position detection signal indicating a displacement of the lens; and an actuator driver configured to feedback-control the actuator based on the position detection signal and a target code indicating a target displacement of the lens. The actuator driver includes: a correction circuit that converts a first detection code corresponding to the position detection signal into a second detection code having a linear relationship with an actual displacement of the lens; and a control circuit that controls the actuator so that the second detection code approaches the target code.

Claim (Index 5):
A method of calibrating an imaging device including: an imaging element; a lens disposed on a path of incident light to the imaging element; an actuator configured to displace the lens in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis; a position detecting element configured to generate a position detection signal indicating a displacement of the lens; and an actuator driver configured to feedback-control the actuator based on the position detection signal and a target code indicating a target displacement of the lens, the actuator driver including: a correction circuit that converts a first detection code corresponding to the position detection signal into a second detection code having a linear relationship with an actual displacement of the lens; and a control circuit that controls the actuator so that the second detection code approaches the target code, the method comprising:\n presenting an imaging target as a reference to the imaging device; acquiring, while the actuator driver controls the actuator to displace the lens to a plurality of points, the first detection code and a moving distance of an image captured by the imaging element at each of the plurality of points; and generating a relational expression for converting the first detection code into the second detection code based on the first detection code and the moving distance of the image obtained at each point of the plurality of points.
