IMAGING APPARATUS WITH SECOND IMAGING ELEMENT USED FOR CORRECTING VIGNETTING IN IMAGES CAPTURED BY FIRST IMAGING ELEMENT

摘要

There is provided an imaging apparatus including a first imaging element and a second imaging element configured to perform imaging in the same direction.The second imaging element is different in pixel arrangement between a central part and a non-central part, such that the pixels in the non-central part are more sensitive than the pixels in the central part. Image signals from the non-central part of the second imaging element are used to correct for shading (vignetting) in image signals from the first imaging element.
