<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To selectively capture an image of an object existing at a desired distance along with the entire image in a monitored area. <P>SOLUTION: An infrared imaging apparatus includes: a first infrared sensor 13 for receiving infrared rays emitted from the object existing in the monitored area by using first sensing elements 131, implementing a photoelectric conversion from the infrared rays into an electrical signal, and outputting the electrical signal; a first signal processor 15A for converting the electrical signal, and generating an infrared reception image signal; a laser irradiator 12 for generating an infrared pulse laser light having a wavelength different from the infrared rays associated with the first infrared sensor 13, and irradiating the monitored area with it; a second infrared sensor 14 for sequentially receiving the infrared pulse laser light reflected from the object by using second sensing elements 141, implementing a photoelectric conversion from the reflection light into an electrical signal, and outputting the electrical signal; and a second signal processor 15B for converting the electrical signal, and generating an infrared reflection image signal. A plurality of the first sensing elements 131 and the second sensing elements 141 are arranged on an outer surface in a checkered pattern. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
