Problems solved by technology

[0014] The present invention is to solve such a problem, and the purpose is to provide a compound eye optical system that eliminates the existing problem in the parallax of each color information—that is, eliminates the problem that the image of the peripheral part of the image is missing due to the parallax. camera device

no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0055] Next, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0056] figure 1 It is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the imaging device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. figure 1 Among them, 1 to 4 are imaging optical systems each including at least one lens. Image sensors 5 to 8 are provided corresponding to the imaging optical systems 1 to 4 , respectively. The same subject is imaged on the respective image sensors 5 to 8 through the imaging optical systems 1 to 4 .

[0057] In this embodiment, in order to capture a color image, the image sensors 5 and 7 arranged on the diagonal among the image sensors 5 to 8 capture the green wavelength band, the image sensor 6 captures the red wavelength band, and the image sensor 8 captures the blue wavelength band. . This wavelength selectivity can be achieved by making the image sensor wavelength-dependent, or by inserting a wavelength-selective...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0098] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0099]In the first embodiment described above, an area (offset area) in which image color information may be missing is determined based on the shortest subject distance, and all pixel information in the offset area is discarded when generating a composite image. On the other hand, in the second embodiment to be described below, it is judged whether there is no loss of actual color information in the misplaced area when the image is synthesized, and the pixels of the part where the color information is not lost are output as an image. That is, in the first embodiment, the number of pixels output as an image (the number of pixels in the output pixel area) is small, but in the second embodiment, the number of pixels can be suppressed from decreasing.

[0100] For this, as Figure 8 As shown, the imaging device according to the second embodiment includes a color informat...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0118] Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0119] The imaging device of this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that by providing imaging areas of image sensors of different sizes, the output pixel area can be increased as much as possible without performing complicated image processing as in the second embodiment. number of pixels.

[0120] Figure 13 It is a plan view showing the size of the imaging area of ​​each image sensor when viewing the image sensors 5 to 8 from the side of the imaging optical systems 1 to 4 . In addition, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the part which has the same function as 1st Embodiment or 2nd Embodiment. As in the first embodiment, the image sensor 5 outputs the reference image G0, the image sensor 6 outputs the image R, the image sensor 7 outputs the image G1, and the image sensor 8 outputs the image B.

[0121] and, in Figure 13 Among them, 5c is ...

Abstract

An imaging device composed of a binocular optical system having a parallax of each color information item and producing no false color around the periphery. The imaging device comprises lens sections, imaging regions each having a light-receiving surface generally perpendicular to the optical axis of the corresponding lens section and outputting an imaging signal, and a parallax computing section for computing the parallax value of an imaging signal with respect to a reference imaging signal (G0) which is one of the imaging signals except the above imaging signal. The area of a light-receiving surface of the reference imaging region is less than that of one imaging region of the plurality imaging regions outputting the reference imaging signal.

Description

[0001] The present invention is a divisional application of the following application, and the original application information is as follows: [0002] Application date: March 22, 2007 [0003] Application number: 200780005793.4 [0004] Name of Invention: Camera Device technical field [0005] The present invention relates to an imaging device which synthesizes a high-precision image by performing parallax correction on a plurality of images obtained by using a plurality of imaging optical systems, and calculates a distance to an object based on the obtained parallax amount. Background technique [0006] In recent years, as the demand for thin digital cameras has increased, imaging devices have been proposed that use multiple lenses and image sensors to photograph a single subject, and combine the images obtained by them to obtain a single high-quality two-dimensional image. . [0007] refer to Figure 17 An example of such a conventional imaging device will be described...
