An image processing apparatus includes a focus lens, an image sensor which captures an image and a controller which moves the image sensor or the focus lens. A distance measurer measures a distance to a subject based on a first image and a second image. A focal position moves for the first focal range by moving the image sensor or by moving the position of the focus lens during the first exposure time period, and the focal position moves for the second focal range by moving the image sensor or by moving the position of the focus lens during the second exposure time period.

1. An image processing apparatus, comprising: a focus lens;an image sensor that, through the focus lens, captures a first image for a first focal range during a first exposure time period and a second image for a second focal range during a second exposure time period, wherein the first focal range
1. An image processing apparatus, comprising: a focus lens;an image sensor that, through the focus lens, captures a first image for a first focal range during a first exposure time period and a second image for a second focal range during a second exposure time period, wherein the first focal range and the second focal range are different;a controller configured to move the image sensor or the focus lens; anda distance measurer configured to measure a distance to a subject based on the first image and the second image,wherein a focal position moves for the first focal range by moving the image sensor or by moving the position of the focus lens during the first exposure time period, andthe focal position moves for the second focal range by moving the image sensor or by moving the position of the focus lens during the second exposure time period. 2. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the distance measurer is configured to measure the distance to a subject based on a blur of the first image and a blur of the second image. 3. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the distance measurer is configured to measure the distance to a subject based on the first image and the second image using a Depth-from-Defocus technique. 4. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the focal position moves for the first focal range during the first exposure time period at a speed that is the same as a speed at which the focal position moves for the second focal range during the second exposure time period. 5. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the focal position moves for the first focal range during the first exposure time period at a different speed from a speed at which the focal position moves for the second focal range during the second exposure time period. 6. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to change a depth of field of the captured first image and a depth of field of the captured second image. 7. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the first focal range and the second focal range is continuous. 8. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the first focal range and the second focal range is discontinuous. 9. An image processing method, comprising: capturing, using an image sensor and through a focus lens, a first image for a first focal range during a first exposure time period and a second image for a second focal range during a second exposure time period, wherein the first focal range and the second focal range are different;moving, using a controller, the image sensor or the focus lens; andmeasuring, using a distance measurer, a distance to a subject based on the first image and the second image,wherein a focal position moves for the first focal range by moving the image sensor or by moving the position of the focus lens during the first exposure time period, andthe focal position moves for the second focal range by moving the image sensor or by moving the position of the focus lens during the second exposure time period. 10. The image processing method according to claim 9, wherein the measuring of the distance to a subject by the distance measurer is based on a blur of the first image and a blur of the second image. 11. The image processing method according to claim 9, wherein the measuring of the distance to a subject by the distance measurer is based on the first image and the second image using a Depth-from-Defocus technique. 12. The image processing method to claim 9, wherein the focal position moves for the first focal range during the first exposure time period at a speed that is the same as a speed at which the focal position moves for the second focal range during the second exposure time period. 13. The image processing method according to claim 9, wherein the focal position moves for the first focal range during the first exposure time period at a different speed from a speed at which the focal position moves for the second focal range during the second exposure time period. 14. The image processing method according to claim 9, further comprising changing, using the controller, a depth of field of the captured first image and a depth of field of the captured second image. 15. The image processing method according to claim 9, wherein at least one of the first focal range and the second focal range is continuous. 16. The image processing method according to claim 9, wherein at least one of the first focal range and the second focal range is discontinuous. 17. The image processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a reference image generation unit configured to generate a reference image from an average image of n images captured by the image sensor. 18. The image processing method according to claim 9, further comprising generating, using a reference generation unit, a reference image from an average image of n images captured by the image sensor. 19. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program which causes a computer to perform all the steps according to the image processing method of claim 9.
