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 4):
The imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n said calculator is configured to calculate the reference angle at a position of the vehicle for next imaging timing, and said controller is programmed to control said actuator on the basis of the reference angle calculated for the next imaging timing before an arrival of the next imaging timing.
