Abstract: An image capture system including two imaging systems of the same structure each having a wide-angle lens, which includes a front group, a reflection surface, and a rear group arranged in order from an object side, has a field angle larger than 180 degrees, and bends an optical axis of the front group toward the rear group by the reflection surface, and an imaging sensor, obtains an image in a solid angle of 4π radian by combining images imaged by the imaging systems. Each of the two wide-angle lenses includes the reflection surface between the front group and the rear group, the reflection surfaces are made to be common to the two imaging systems. This reduces an interval between lenses nearest to the object side in the front groups of the two wide-angle lenses, thereby reducing a distance between maximum field angles of the two wide-angle lenses.

Abstract: An imaging device includes a filter unit including filter areas having different wavelength selectivities; a light receiving element array configured to receive light transmitted through the filter unit; a storage unit configured to store, for each filter area, positional information indicating a position at which light transmitted is received on the light receiving element array; an area detector configured to detect, based on the positional information, an image area corresponding to the light transmitted from an image output by the light receiving element array when light from an object enters the filter unit; and a color detector configured to detect a color of the object based on an output value of the image area. The positional information indicates a position on the light receiving element array identified by using a spectral-response-coincidence-degree indicating a degree of coincidence between a spectral responsivity of each pixel and a desired wavelength selectivity.
