Abstract:
The present technology relates to an imaging apparatus, an imaging method, and a program capable of obtaining a color image even in a case where photographing is performed in a dark place. The apparatus includes: an infrared light emission unit that emits infrared light; a sensor array in which a plurality of pixels is arranged, the plurality of pixels including a first pixel that includes a period during which the infrared light is emitted by the infrared light emission unit as an exposure duration, a second pixel that does not include a period during which the infrared light is emitted as the exposure duration, and an infrared light pixel that receives infrared light contained in ambient light; an acquisition unit that obtains an infrared light image captured by the first pixel, a visible image captured by the second pixel, and an ambient infrared light image captured by the infrared light pixel; and an image generation unit that generates an image as a result of removing the infrared light contained in the ambient light from the infrared light image and the visible image using the ambient infrared light image. The present technology is applicable to a surveillance camera, for example.

Claim (Index 9):
The imaging apparatus according to  claim 8 ,\n wherein the address of the infrared light pixel is stored in a static defective pixel correction circuit and the correction is performed by the static defective pixel correction circuit.
