Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP7116580
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure a frame rate adequate for observation.SOLUTION: An imaging device according to an embodiment includes an image sensor, a control unit, and an image generation unit. The image sensor is a rolling-shutter type image sensor that includes a plurality of pixels that are arranged in a matrix and generate an electric signal due to light received and, on a frame-to-frame basis, repeatedly performs a process to sequentially start conducting exposure on at least every line to start from the first line of the pixels to the last line, and output the electric signal sequentially from the line for which exposure has been completed. The control unit causes the pixels to receive light during only a period based on the blanking period that corresponds to the period between the finish of the output of the electric signal from the last line and the start of the output of the electric signal from the first line. The image generation unit generates images in accordance with the electric signal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
