Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4071793
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus (601; 1101) comprising a plurality of optical systems (101, 102, 103, 104) and a plurality of imaging regions (105, 106, 107, 108) in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of optical systems (101, 102, 103, 104) is disclosed, wherein each of the imaging regions (105, 106, 107, 108) has a plurality of pixels, and the imaging regions (105, 106, 107, 108) are disposed on optical axes (109, 110, 111, 112) of the respective optical systems (101, 102, 103, 104) on a one-to-one basis, the apparatus further comprising an origin detecting means; a pixel position specifying means for specifying positions of the plurality of pixels included in the imaging regions (105, 106, 107, 108) using the origins as references; characterized by the origin detecting means being configured to detect positions where the optical axes (109, 110, 111, 112) of the respective optical systems (101, 102, 103, 104) intersect the respective imaging regions (105, 106, 107, 108) as an origin of each of the imaging regions (105, 106, 107, 108); and the imaging apparatus further comprising a combination means being configured to detect a parallax between a plurality of images captured by the imaging regions (105, 106, 107, 108) based on the positions of the pixels specified, to correct the plurality of images so as to reduce or eliminate the parallax, and to combine the plurality of corrected images.
