摘要:
An imaging device includes an imaging element, a color filter, a read control unit, an infrared component quantity detection unit, and an infrared component removing unit. The imaging element includes a large number of pixels in a light receiving surface. The color filter includes, a large number of red, green, and blue filter units, and a plurality of infrared-transparent filter units extracting the infrared component of imaging light incident substantially on a center and peripheral areas of the light receiving surface. The read control unit controls reading out of the imaging element. The infrared component quantity detection unit detects the infrared component quantity contained in the imaging light received at each pixel. The infrared component removing unit outputs the imaging data after removing the quantity of infrared component detected by the infrared component quantity detection unit from the imaging data obtained from each of the RGB pixels.
