IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGING METHOD, AND IMAGING OPERATION CONTROL PROGRAM

摘要

An imaging apparatus includes a plurality of imaging sections that images an imaging region, a parallax information generator that generates parallax information based on images by the imaging sections, and an exposure amount controller that determines an exposure amount for use in the imaging sections in a subsequent imaging operation to increase a number of parallax values contained in a parallax value group of an image portion showing a target in the imaging region, wherein the exposure amount controller executes parallax information obtaining control that obtains the parallax information corresponding to a plurality of exposure amounts generated based on the images with the exposure amounts, and executes exposure amount identifying control that identifies the exposure amount corresponding to the parallax information having a maximum number of parallax values in the obtained parallax information to determine the exposure amount for use in the imaging sections based on the identified exposure amount.
