IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSOR, AND DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging device useful for measuring a distance by a passive method. SOLUTION: One wide angle lens and two or more mirrors are used in the imaging device. The two or more mirrors are disposed around the wide angle lens and configured to surround the wide angle lens. One central region (actual camera image) which directly images an imaged object and two or more peripheral regions (two or more virtual camera images) which image reflected images of the two or more mirrors disposed around the wide angle lens are simultaneously imaged into one image.
