Image pickup apparatus including image pickup devices having sensitivity in infrared region
First Claim
1. An image pickup apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of first pixels which receive both visible light and infrared light;
a plurality of second pixels which receive infrared light corresponding respectively to the plurality of first pixels; and
a processing unit which obtains a component of visible light incident on a first pixel saturated with the light, by using a relation between an output signal of another first pixel different from the saturated first pixel among the plurality of first pixels and an output signal of a second pixel corresponding to said another first pixel.

Abstract
A plurality of first pixels receive both visible light and infrared light. A plurality of second pixels receive infrared light. A ratio calculation unit calculates the ratio of an output signal of another first pixel different from saturated first pixel and an output signal of a second pixel corresponding to the another first pixel. A signal estimation unit multiplies the output signal of a second pixel corresponding to the saturated first pixel, by the ratio calculated by the ratio calculation unit. A subtractor subtracts the output of a second pixel corresponding to the saturated first pixel, from a signal estimated as an output signal of the saturated first pixel.
