Abstract:
An image pickup apparatus, comprising a point image intensity distribution generating unit configured to generate a point image intensity distribution based on lens light field data and a sensor light-receiving intensity characteristic, the lens light field data including information relating to directions of a plurality of light fluxes emitted from one point of an object position and passing through different regions of an exit pupil of an imaging optical system; and information relating to positions of points on the plurality of light fluxes, the sensor light-receiving intensity characteristic representing light-receiving intensities, which are determined on a light receiving surface of an image pickup element, of light fluxes passing through respective regions of an entrance pupil of a microlens arranged over the image pickup element.

Claim (Index 19):
An information processing method, comprising:\n reading out, from a memory, a correction value for correcting a detected in-focus position calculated based on the point image intensity distribution of each of a plurality of positions on an optical axis, wherein the point image intensity distribution represents a light intensity distribution when light from a point light source is received on a light receiving surface of an image pickup element, and is previously calculated based on lens aberration data and a sensor light-receiving intensity characteristic, and wherein the sensor light-receiving intensity characteristic represents light-receiving intensities, which are determined on a light receiving surface of the image pickup element, of light fluxes passing through respective regions of an entrance pupil of the image pickup element arranged over the image pickup element, and the light fluxes passing through respective regions of the entrance pupil of the image pickup element are respectively received by divided pixels of the image pickup element.
