The present invention relates to an imaging apparatus and an imaging method so as to be able to obtain disparity information, without deteriorating the image quality of the image. Incident light from a subject is made to be parallel light by a relay lens unit 33, part thereof is reflected by a transmissive mirror 35, and the remaining incident light transmits the transmissive mirror 35. An imaging device 39 performs photoelectric conversion on the incident light which has transmitted the transmissive mirror 35 and images a basic image, and an imaging device 40 performs photoelectric conversion on the incident light which has reflected off of the transmissive mirror 35 and images disparity detection images. A disparity image generating unit 44 replaces pixel values of each pixel on the disparity detection images into the pixel values on the pixels on the basic image corresponding to these pixels and generates right and left disparity images. In this way, if used high-quality basic image and disparity detection image having disparity information, high-quality disparity image pair with appropriate disparity can be obtained. The present invention can be applied to a camera. |
