Title:
IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE AND IAMGE CAPTURE DEVICE SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/027459
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide an image capture device and image capture device system with which it is possible, while suppressing size increases in an image capture device overall, to form an image of two images in different regions in one image capture element without greatly changing the focus location, and to enlarge the focal depth in a sequential range. [Solution] An image capture device comprises: an object optical assembly (1) for forming an image from a light beam from an object; one image capture element (3) which is positioned near the image forming location of the object optical assembly; a segmenting element (4) which is positioned between the object optical assembly and the image capture element, for segmenting the light beam from the object optical assembly into two light beams, a reflected light beam and a pass-through light beam; a first reflection member (6) for bending and reflecting the light beam which is reflected with the segmenting element; and a second reflection member (7) for reflecting the light which passes through the segmenting element. The light beam which is reflected with the first reflection member via the segmenting element is image formed in a first region (3a) in the image capture element, and the light beam which is reflected with the second reflection member via the segmenting element is image formed in a second region (3b) which differs from the first region in the image capture element.
