IMAGING DEVICE, DISTANCE MEASURING DEVICE, EXTERIOR MONITORING DEVICE, AND IMAGING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive imaging device for imaging a plurality of optical images and preferably an inexpensive imaging device for distance measurement having a combination of two sets of stereo cameras. SOLUTION: The imaging device includes an imaging sensor 13 having an imaging surface divided into a plurality of imaging regions and an optical filter 14 that separates a plurality of image information by light beams with which the imaging surface is irradiated from any of different directions and preferably image information irradiated from a lens 12 of a short-distance photographing camera and a lens 11 of a long-distance photographing camera into each image information to form the information in the individual imaging regions of the imaging surface.
