Abstract

See full text

An imaging device generates distance information for each object in a plurality of images having the same viewpoint. During the generation, the imaging device detects distances from the viewpoint to some of the objects intermittently, and estimates the distances from the viewpoint to the other objects using the detected distances. The imaging device extracts object areas from the images, estimates the correspondence between the object areas of a target image targeted for distance estimation and the object areas of a reference image having been subjected to distance detection by a comparison therebetween, and allocates, for each of the object areas of the target image, the distance information of the corresponding object area of the reference image.
