Abstract:
The distance information generating apparatus includes a generating unit configured to generate the distance information, based on the parallax between the first image signal and the second image signal; an acquiring unit configured to acquire chromatic aberration information indicative of chromatic aberration of an image-forming optical system used in photographing of the first image signal and the second image signal; and a correction unit configured to correct the distance information generated in the generating unit, based on a contrast evaluation value generated for each of the plurality of pieces of color information from the third image signal, and the chromatic aberration information

Claim (Index 10):
An imaging apparatus comprising:\n an image-forming optical system; an image sensor disposed on an estimated focal plane of the image-forming optical system; and the distance information generating apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the image sensor includes a plurality of types of first pixels having mutually different spectral sensitivity characteristics, wherein each of the first pixels includes: a first photoelectric conversion unit configured to receive a light flux having passed through a first pupil area in an exit pupil of the image-forming optical system; and a second photoelectric conversion unit configured to receive a light flux having passed through a second pupil area that is positioned in the exit pupil of the image-forming optical system and is at least partially different from the first pupil area, wherein the first photoelectric conversion unit outputs the third image signal, wherein the second photoelectric conversion unit outputs a fourth image signal, wherein the first image signal is obtained by multiplying a plurality of pieces of color information included in the third image signal by a predetermined weighting coefficient and combining the plurality of pieces of color information after the multiplication, wherein the second image signal is obtained by multiplying a plurality of pieces of color information included in the fourth image signal by a predetermined weighting coefficient and combining the plurality of pieces of color information after the multiplication, and wherein the correction unit of the distance information generating apparatus corrects the distance information determined from the first image signal and the second image signal by using an axial chromatic aberration amount of the image-forming optical system.
