A movement area detecting unit detects, in an image frame divided into a plurality of blocks, a block having a movement as a movement area, based on simple image data. A face detecting unit detects a human face based on the simple image data. When a human face is detected by the face detecting unit in the movement area detected by the movement area detecting unit and the movement in the movement area including the human face stops, an image pick-up operation is performed. Therefore, when an image is to be picked up in a self-timer image pick-up mode for automatically picking-up an image of an operator himself/herself as an object, the image pick-up operation takes place at the optimal timing when the operator as the object reaches and stands still at the desired position for the photograph.

A panoramic imaging device comprises: a lens array having a center lens for receiving light entering in a front range of at most 60° in a capture angle and left and right side lenses formed on the same plane as that with the center lens formed thereon and having optical axes parallel to that of the center lens for receiving lights entering in left and right ranges each of at most 60° in the capture angle; and prisms or mirrors placed on light entrance side of the lens array for guiding and reflecting lights entering in the left and right ranges, such that each light entering each side lens is directed along the optical axis of each side lens. Images formed by the center lens and the left and right side lenses are combined into a panoramic image with a picture angle of at least 120°.

A compound-eye imaging device comprises: an optical lens array with integrated optical lenses; a stop member; a photodetector array for imaging multiple images formed by the optical lenses; and a light shielding block for partitioning a space between the two arrays into a matrix of spaces, with light-passing holes, so as to prevent lights emitted from the optical lenses from interfering each other. The light shielding block is formed of unit plates in a stack, each having light-passing windows. Each light-passing window has blackened surface. The unit plates in the stack are alternately reversed upside down and left-right so as to allow the horizontal positions of the light-passing windows for forming each light-passing hole through the unit plates in the stack to be alternately offset in depth direction of the hole, thereby forming an irregular inner wall surface which serves as a light scattering surface to prevent e.g. ghost.

A photographic device includes an image sensor in which a plurality of pixels are arrayed. A horizontal scan circuit selects in order vertical drive lines to which the pixels are connected. And a vertical scan circuit reads voltages, due to accumulated electric charges, from the pixels in the horizontal row which is selected. A plurality of lenses are provided to the image sensor, arranged along the direction parallel to the vertical drive lines. Each of these lenses images an image of the same photographic region upon a pixel region which it confronts. The accumulated electric charges are read out from each pixel, arrayed in order. An image processing unit acquires a plurality of images of the photographic region spaced apart in time. And a moving body detection unit performs moving body detection from the differences between this plurality of images of the photographic region.

A compound-eye imaging device comprises a flash control means for controlling a flash unit to alternatively emit two kinds of near-infrared lights having different wavelengths while multiple single-eye images are read using a rolling shutter; a single-eye image reading means for reading, from the single-eye images, a single-eye image (hereafter “pre-change single-eye image”) imaged under a first illumination condition before an illumination condition change by the flash control means, and a single-eye image (hereafter “post-change single-eye image”) imaged under a second illumination condition after the illumination condition change; and an eye position detecting means for detecting eye positions in the single-eye images based on a comparison between the read pre-change and post-change single-eye images. This imaging device can further comprise: a face extracting means for extracting a face area based on the detected eye positions; and a personal identification means for performing personal identification based on the extracted face area.

A photographic device includes an image sensor in which a plurality of pixels are arrayed. A vertical scan circuit selects horizontal drive lines of the image sensor in order. And a horizontal scan circuit reads out in order voltages due to electric charges from the pixels in the horizontal row which is selected by the vertical scan circuit. A plurality of optical lenses are arranged in a direction parallel to the vertical drive lines, and these optical lenses form images of the same photographic regions upon respective pixel regions which face them. The voltages due to electric charges are read out in order from the pixels, and a plurality of images are acquired with some time difference between them. The emission of light by a light source is controlled, so that photography in each of the pixel regions is performed in different photographic conditions.

A compound-eye imaging device comprises: an optical lens array with integrated optical lenses; a stop member for shielding unnecessary ambient light from entering the optical lens array; a photodetector array placed at a predetermined distance from the optical lens array for imaging images formed by the optical lenses; and a light shielding block placed between the two arrays for partitioning a space between the two arrays into a matrix of spaces as seen on a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of each optical lens to prevent lights from the optical lenses from interfering each other. The optical lenses are formed of a molded glass having a refractive index distribution to increase the refractive index of each optical lens in the direction of light propagation. The focal length of each optical lens can be reduced as compared with an ordinary lens, thereby reducing the thickness of the compound-eye imaging device.
