IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

An imaging device includes a lens unit to form an object image, an imaging unit to convert the formed object image to an image signal, an image processing unit, an insertion/removal unit, a setting unit, and a mode determining unit. The image processing unit performs predetermined image processing on the image signal. The insertion/removal unit inserts and removes optical filters to/from the lens unit. The mode determining unit determines setting of an imaging mode included in a received setting. The optical filters include a first filter having a transmittance of a wavelength component in the infrared region that is relatively smaller than a wavelength component in the visible region, and a second filter having a transmittance of the wavelength component in the infrared region that is relatively larger than the wavelength component in the visible region. The image processing unit performs image processing according to a determination result.

1. An imaging device including a lens unit configured to form an object image, and an imaging unit configured to convert the formed object image to an image signal, the imaging device comprising:
an image processing unit configured to perform predetermined image processing on the image signal captured by the imaging unit; an insertion/removal unit configured to insert and remove a plurality of optical filters to and from the lens unit; a setting unit configured to receive setting from a user; and a mode determining unit configured to determine setting of an imaging mode included in the received setting, wherein the plurality of optical filters includes:
a first filter having a transmittance of a wavelength component in the infrared region that is relatively smaller than a wavelength component in the visible region, anda second filter having a transmittance of the wavelength component in the infrared region that is relatively larger than the wavelength component in the visible region, wherein the imaging mode includes:
a first imaging mode configured to insert the first filter into the lens unit,a second imaging mode configured to insert the second filter into the lens unit, anda third imaging mode configured to remove the first filter and the second filter from the lens unit, and wherein the image processing unit further is configured to perform image processing according to a determination result of the mode determining unit.
