IMAGING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE ANALYZER AND MOVING APPARATUS USING THE IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

An imaging apparatus, including an imaging device determining an index value representing differences in sizes of plural polarization components having polarization directions different from each other included in light from each point in an imaging area, and continuously image a polarization information image having a pixel value based on the determined index value to form a moving image of the polarization information image; and a light exposure adjuster adjusting a light exposure such that the differences in sizes of the plural polarization components are maximum at a predetermined light exposure adjustment time during the continuous imaging.
