An imaging apparatus, medium, and apparatus using infrared rays with image discrimination. The imaging apparatus may includes an image sensor optically together sensing a visible light component and an infrared component of an image, and an image processor to recognize an object component of the image. Accordingly, an infrared component cell can be far more easily implemented than conventionally. Also, an object component can be more accurately identified while being less affected by ambient illumination of the object component because an infrared component is used. Furthermore, both iris identification and color image acquisition can be achieved using a single camera by employing the image sensor, which senses the infrared component and the visible light component together. Thus, both the iris identification and the color image acquisition can be incorporated and executed by a single camera. Therefore, the imaging apparatus can be made compact.
