Abstract: A color filter array includes a basic array pattern constituted by a square array pattern that corresponds to 5×5 pixels, and the basic array pattern is repeatedly arranged in horizontal and vertical directions. In the basic array pattern, the G filters that are brightness system pixels are arranged on at least the both diagonal lines. As a result, the G filter is arranged in each line of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal directions of the color filter array, and the R and B filters are arranged in each line of the horizontal and vertical directions of the color filter array. In addition, a ratio of the number of G pixels that help most to obtain a brightness signal of the basic array pattern is greater than each ratio of the number of R pixels and the number of B pixels that correspond to the other colors, thereby executing demosaic processing effectively.

Abstract: A processor measures a first distance to an object in a distance measurement target region on the basis of an irradiation timing when a light irradiator performs surface irradiation on the distance measurement target region with light and a light receiving timing when a light receiver receives reflected light of the light from distance measurement target region. In a case in which a specific pixel included in the light receiver generates a plurality of signals at different timings within a light receiving period corresponding to the surface irradiation by the light irradiator, the processor measures the first distance on the basis of a relationship between the plurality of signals.
