Abstract:
The imaging device is characterized by comprising an image sensor comprising pixels with sensitivity to the visible range and near infrared range and pixels with sensitivity to the near infrared range, a color reproduction processing unit that performs color reproduction processing using signals from the pixels with sensitivity to the visible range and near infrared range and signals from the pixels with sensitivity to the near infrared range among the output signals of the image sensor, a visible light amount calculating unit that calculates the signal quantity in the visible range using the output signal of the image sensor, and a control unit that controls the color reproduction processing unit so that the color reproduction processing is performed on the basis of the signal quantity in the visible range calculated by the visible light amount calculating unit.
