Abstract:
An imaging device having an optical system including a free-form surface lens with rotationally asymmetric shape that forms an image on an imaging surface such that a resolution of a first region in front of the predetermined region is higher than a resolution of a second region at a lateral side of the predetermined region. The free-form surface lens has a shape that forms the image such that a resolution of a portion at a predetermined first distance away from a center of the first region in a vertical direction is different from a resolution of a portion at the predetermined first distance away from the center of the first region in a horizontal direction, the vertical direction being orthogonal to the horizontal direction, in the imaging element, in which the first region and the second region are aligned.
