Abstract:
An imaging device includes an optical system, a plurality of imaging elements, an imaging unit, a comparison unit, and a correction unit. The optical system is configured to disperse light of a subject image. The imaging elements are configured to capture subject images dispersed by the optical system using a rolling shutter method. The imaging unit is configured to shift a slit range, which is between a front curtain and a rear curtain of the rolling shutter method, by at least one line in a sub-scanning direction between the plurality of imaging elements. The comparison unit is configured to calculate a level difference in units of lines between image signals output by the plurality of imaging elements by comparing signal levels of the image signals, and the correction unit configured to correct influence of a flash band on the image signals on the basis of the level difference.
