Abstract

See full text

The distance information producing apparatus includes a distance information producing unit producing, on a basis of a phase difference between paired image signals for phase difference detection obtained by image capturing of an image capturing area, distance information showing a distribution of object distances in the image capturing area, and a reliability information producing unit producing reliability information showing a reliability of the distance information, by using at least one of an evaluation value relating to an edge of at least one of the paired image signals, an evaluation value relating to a contrast of the at least one of the paired image signals and an evaluation value relating to a degree of correlation between the paired image signals.
