An image-pickup apparatus for capturing an object includes a distance
calculating unit for measuring a phase difference (time difference) from
the emission of light from a light emitting unit to the reception of
reflected light by a light receiving unit for each unit composed of a
predetermined number of adjacent pixels of the object to calculate a
distance from the image-pickup apparatus to each corresponding pixel unit
of the object, and an image processing unit for corresponding the
distance calculated in units of the predetermined number of pixels to the
image captured by the light receiving unit. The image processing unit
supplies a display unit with only pixels corresponding to a predetermined
range in the image generated by the distance calculating unit to display
the pixels in units of the predetermined number of pixels on the display
unit.
