IMAGING DEVICE AND MOBILE CAMERA

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging device, and a mobile camera for enlarging a part of an imaged image in the advancing direction of a mobile body according to a speed of the mobile body.

SOLUTION: An imaging sensor 2 photoelctrically converts a light image formed on an imaging surface for two-dimensionally arranging a plurality of picture elements into an electric signal by the respective picture elements. An image forming part 1 forms a moving directional light image of a vehicle on the imaging surface. A vehicle speed sensor 6 detects a moving speed of the vehicle. A zoom power calculating part 7 calculates zoom power of the imaged image by the imaging sensor 2 according to the detected speed. A trimming part 8 takes out a prescribed area of the imaged image by the imaging sensor 2 according to the calculated zoom power. A resize part 9 enlarges an image of the take-out area according to a display image screen. An image display part 11 displays the enlarged image.
