Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text relates to improving the accuracy of shading correction in electronic cameras equipped with multiple lens systems. Specifically, the issue arising during shutter detection caused by the variation in the direction of light passing through the lens elements, resulting in reduced sensitivity and increased distortion of images captured by the sensor. To address this issue, there is proposed a technique involving storing the received image data in a separate storage area and processing the image data separately afterward.

Embodiment Construction

[0047]A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048]FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the arrangement of an image sensing apparatus (digital still camera) according to an embodiment of the present invention. This image sensing apparatus can exchange lenses.

[0049]Referring toFIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a total control CPU for controlling the overall camera; 2, an exit pupil position detector; and 3, an exchangeable lens. The exchangeable lens 3 includes exit pupil position information, and the detector 2 detects the exit pupil position information included in the exchangeable lens 3, generates encode information by correcting the detected value, and outputs the generated information to the CPU 1.

[0050]The exit pupil position information is used to calculate shading correction coefficients, as will be described later. Before that calculation, the exit pupil position information is corrected accordin

Abstract

This invention has as its object to eliminate sensitivity nonuniformity on the plane of an image sensing element irrespective of exchange of a lens. To achieve this object, in an image sensing apparatus which has an image sensing element and can exchange a lens, a memory stores shading correction coefficients respectively corresponding to pixels in a two-dimensional matrix on the plane of the image sensing element, and a correction device makes a correction calculation of pixel data read out from each pixel of the image sensing element by extracting the shading correction coefficient associated with the corresponding pixel from those stored in the memory.
