Abstract:
A night vision imaging apparatus includes a light projecting section, a light amount controller, an imaging section, and a recording section. The light projecting section casts a near infrared ray as illumination light on an illumination area. The light amount controller controls an amount of the illumination light on each one of sub-areas forming the illumination area. The imaging section images the illumination area, and generates image data. The recording section records the image data generated by the imaging section. The light amount controller divides an image shown in the image data into a plurality of divided portions, and determines a light intensity of each one of the plurality of divided portion, and then controls an amount of the illumination light to be casted on a sub-area corresponding to each one of the plurality of divided portions among the sub-areas of the illumination area based on the determined light intensity.

Claim (Index 4):
The night vision imaging apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the light projecting section includes a light modulation element modulating an amount of the illumination light to be casted on each one of the sub-areas, based on a control of the light amount controller.
