    Abstract: An imaging apparatus provided with a lens module which has a main body and two vane members. The main body holds a lens on an inside thereof. The vane members are plate shaped sections projected from an outside surface of the main body, which are provided with through-holes enabling fastening members to be threaded through. A base is provided with an imaging element and configured to fix thereto the main body. The case which accommodates the lens, the lens module and the base has two thread-holes formed on an inside thereof, into which the fastening members are fastened thereto. The lens module is fixed to the case by threading the fastening members through the through-holes, and fastening the fastening members into the thread-holes.

    Abstract: An on-vehicle camera apparatus capturing an image in front of a vehicle includes: a camera module outputting image data and a control circuit board. The camera module includes an optical element that refracts incident light so as to diverge or focus the incident light, and an image sensor element in which incident light transmitted through the optical element forms an image. The control circuit board executes, based on the image data outputted by the camera module, a recognition process recognizing a state in front of the own vehicle, and also executes at least two vehicle control processes among a headlight control process, a forward collision preventing process and a lane departure warning process, as a result of the recognition process. According to the on-vehicle camera apparatus, a resin-made lens is used for the optical element.

    Abstract: A vehicle compound-eye camera includes: a plurality of cameras arranged to be spaced apart from each other in a predetermined direction and disposed such that respective maximum image-pickup ranges of the plurality of cameras are partially shifted from each other in the predetermined direction; and a processor configured to set an overlapping image-pickup range in which each of the plurality of cameras picks up an image of a same target object from a different viewpoint. The processor is configured to set an image-pickup range of one of the cameras disposed on one end in the predetermined direction to have a relatively wide angle. The processor is configured to set an image-pickup range of another of the cameras disposed on the other end in the predetermined direction to have a relatively narrow angle.

    Abstract: In a lens module, a sidewall of a lens barrel includes a first wall section that surrounds at least one access hole, and a second wall section that is other than the first wall section. The first wall section has a first inner circumferential surface and a first distance defined between the first inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface of the at least one lens. The second wall section has a second inner circumferential surface and a second distance defined between the second inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface of the at least one lens. The first distance is larger than the second distance.

    Abstract: In a lens module, a first lens barrel has opposing first and second ends and an optical axis. A glass lens is disposed in the first lens barrel, and a resin lens is disposed in the first lens barrel and is arranged to be closer to the second end than the glass lens is. A second lens barrel is disposed in the first lens barrel to surround the at least one resin lens. A holding mechanism applies pressing force to the at least one glass lens and the second lens barrel in a direction of the optical axis to perform pressure holding of the at least one glass lens and the second lens barrel in a direction of the optical axis. The holding mechanism holds the at least one resin lens while preventing the pressing force from being directly applied to the at least one resin lens.

    Abstract: A camera is module mounted on an inside of a windshield in a vehicle and is configured to photograph an outside of the vehicle. The camera module includes: a first camera for photographing the outside with a first imaging element through a first lens unit; and a second camera having a view angle narrower than the first camera and photographing the outside with a second imaging element through a second lens unit. The first imaging element and the second imaging element have a same pixel specification.
