Abstract:
In an image capturing apparatus, an image sensing device includes a plurality of groups of pixels each including a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, signals from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements being readable separately for each photoelectric conversion element via a signal line used in common by each group of pixels. A reading unit performs, on a plurality of groups of pixels, a reading-out operation to reading out a signal as a first signal from part of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements and a second reading-out operation to mix signals from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements and read out a resultant mixed signal as an image signal. A generation unit generates one image file including the first signal, the image signal, and defect data indicating a group of pixels for which the first signal is defective while the image signal is not defective.

Claim (Index 21):
An image processing apparatus comprising:\n one or more processors; and a memory storing instructions which, when the instructions are executed by the one or more processors, cause the image Processing apparatus to function as: an acquisition unit configured to acquire an image file including a first signal, an image signal, and defect data, the first signal and the image signal being signals obtained from an image sensing device including a plurality of groups of pixels, each pixel of each group of pixels including a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, the first signal being a signal from part of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, the image signal being a signal obtained by mixing signals from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, the defect data being data indicating a group of pixels for which when signals are read out from the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, the first signal is defective although the image signal is not defective; a decoding unit configured to decode the image signal and the first signal from the image file; an in-decoding correction unit configured to correct the defect of the first signal decoded by the decoding unit based on the defect data; and an image processing unit configured to perform image processing on the first signal corrected by the in-decoding correction unit and the image signal.
