    摘要: The 3D image capture device of this invention includes: a light-transmitting section 2 with light-transmitting areas C1, C2 and C3 that have mutually different transmission wavelength ranges; a solid-state image sensor 1 arranged to receive the light that has been transmitted through the light-transmitting section 2; and an optical system 3 configured to produce an image on an imaging area of the solid-state image sensor 1, which includes a photosensitive cell array and a color filter array on the imaging area. The transmission wavelength ranges of the light-transmitting areas and the color filters are defined such that the light that has been transmitted through at least one of the light-transmitting areas C1, C2 and C3 is transmissible through at least two of the color filters. A signal processing section generates data of at least two images with parallax by generating signals representing at least two of the respective intensities of light rays that are incident on the light-transmitting areas based on the output signals of the photosensitive cells.

    摘要: An image capture device according to the present invention includes an imaging lens 3, a light-transmitting section 2 with two polarizers, and a solid-state image sensor 1 that has multiple pixels and their associated polarization filters. A first polarization filter 50a is arranged to face a first group of pixels W1 and a second polarization filter 50b is arranged to face a second group of pixels W2. The respective transmission axes of the polarizing areas P(1) and P(2) of the light-transmitting section 2 form an angle θ between themselves. Also, the transmission axis of the first polarization filter 50a defines an angle α with respect to that of the polarizing area P(1). And the transmission axis of the second polarization filter 50b defines an angle β with respect to that of the polarizing area P(2). With such an arrangement adopted, the image capture device of the present invention can obtain images with parallax efficiently.
