    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an optical imaging system that converges light from an object; an imaging device that includes a plurality of pixels, receives the converged light, and converts the received light to an electric signal; a filter unit that is disposed between the optical imaging system and the imaging device and includes a plurality of color filters having different light transmission rate characteristics; and a transmission data compressing circuit that codes the electric signal. An overall light transmission rate characteristic of the filter unit differs randomly in different pixels of the imaging device, and the transmission data compressing circuit weights and codes the electric signal of each of the pixels by using a reciprocal of a proportion of the overall light transmission rate characteristic of the filter unit corresponding to each of the plurality of pixels of the imaging device relative to a wavelength characteristic common among the pixels.

    Abstract: An imaging system includes an encoding apparatus that performs a multiple sampling process on charge signals in a plurality of wavelength bands and encodes image information and a decoding apparatus that decodes the image information. In the multiple sampling process, the charge signals of pixels in a pixel group having a predetermined arrangement pattern are analog-summed and the sum is converted into a new digital signal. The encoding apparatus performs the multiple sampling process on charge signals in at least two of the wavelength bands and outputs a digital image signal in each of the wavelength band. The at least two pixel groups have different arrangement patterns, and combinations of the arrangement patterns for all the wavelength bands differ from one another. The decoding apparatus generates a reconstructed image from the digital image signals in the wavelength bands using multiple sampling information and outputs the image.

    Abstract: A camera calibration method, which calculates camera parameters of two cameras using calibration points, includes: (a1) acquiring three-dimensional coordinate sets of the calibration points and image coordinate pairs of the calibration points in a camera image of each camera; (a2) acquiring multiple camera parameters of each camera; (a3) for each calibration point, calculating a view angle-corresponding length corresponding to a view angle of the two cameras viewing the calibration point; (a4) for each calibration point, calculating a three-dimensional position of a measurement point corresponding to a three-dimensional position of the calibration point using parallax of the calibration point between the two cameras; (a5) for each calibration point, weighting a difference between the three-dimensional coordinate set of the calibration point and the three-dimensional position of the measurement point corresponding to the calibration point using the view angle-corresponding length corresponding to the calibration point; and (a6) updating the camera parameters based on the weighted difference.
