Abstract:
The imaging device includes an image sensor that includes a plurality of pixels that generate an image signal from an object image that is formed by an imaging optical system, a scaling section that performs a scaling process on an original image that includes image signals that correspond to the plurality of pixels, and an output section that outputs an image after the scaling process as a scaled image, the scaling section performing the scaling process using a different scaling factor corresponding to the position of a pixel of interest within the scaled image, and the image sensor including pixels in a number larger than the number of pixels of the scaled image as the plurality of pixels.
