Abstract:
There are provided an imaging device, a distance measurement method, a distance measurement program, and a recording medium capable of accurately measuring a distance to a subject without depending on a color of the subject.
A bifocal imaging lens, a first pixel and a second pixel that respectively pupil-divide and selectively receive luminous flux incident through a first region of the first region and a second region having different focusing distances of the imaging lens, an image sensor having a third pixel and a fourth pixel corresponding to the second region, a first image acquisition unit (41-1) and a second image acquisition unit (41-2) that acquire a first image and a second image having asymmetric blurs from a first pixel group (22A) and a third pixel group (22C) of the image sensor, a third image acquisition unit (43-1) and a fourth image acquisition unit (43-2) that add pixel values of adjacent pixels of the first and second pixels of the image sensor and add pixel values of adjacent pixels of the third and fourth pixels to acquire a third image and a fourth image having symmetric blurs, and a distance calculation unit (45) that calculates a distance to a subject in the image based on the acquired first and third images or the acquired second and fourth images are included.
