Abstract:
An imaging apparatus is configured to photograph an image of a scene ahead of a vehicle. The imaging apparatus is provided with: an actuator configured to move an imaging range in an upward/downward direction by moving an imaging sensor in the upward/downward direction and adjusting a relative position of the imaging sensor with respect to a lens; a calculator configured to calculate a reference angle, which is an angle made by a line extending in a moving direction of the vehicle from the imaging sensor and a line extending to a traffic light, which is ahead of the vehicle, from the imaging sensor; and a controller programmed to control the actuator to include the traffic light in the imaging range on the basis of the reference angle.

Claim (Index 2):
The imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said calculator is configured to calculate the reference angle if a color of the traffic light is red and if the traffic light is located in a predetermined area in the imaging range.
