Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an imaging device whereby enhanced sensing precision and reduced computational load can both be achieved at the same time even when a plurality of objects as sensing subjects are present. In order to achieve this purpose, the present invention has: a first object detection processing unit having a plurality of imaging units, the first object detection processing unit performing first object detection processing for sensing, by stereo processing, a distance for each of a plurality of image elements in partial region of interest in an image acquired by the imaging units, then extracting a group of the image elements on the basis of the sensed distances and detecting an object; and a second object detection processing unit for performing second object detection processing for detecting the distance of the object by stereo processing for a partial region of another region of interest in the image.
