Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus, comprising: a light receiving device array having light receiving devices two-dimensionally arranged in both a row direction and a column direction; a light transmissive filter disposed in front of the light receiving device array, the light transmissive filter including plural types of band-shape light transmissive sections having respective, different light transmissive characteristics, and the plural types of band-shape light transmissive sections being arranged in sequence so that a direction perpendicular to a border line between the light transmissive sections is parallel to neither the row direction nor the column direction of the light receiving device array to form a light transmissive section pattern; and an arithmetic processing unit configured to perform arithmetic processing on image data output from the light receiving devices, wherein the arithmetic processing unit includes: a first parameter generating unit configured to generate a first parameter indicative of a displacement of the light transmissive section pattern relative to the light receiving device array in response to a position of one of the light receiving devices; a second parameter generating unit configured to generate second parameters in response to the first parameter generated by the first parameter generating unit; and an image generating unit configured to produce output images in response to image signals output from the light receiving devices and the second parameters generated by the second parameter generating unit.
