Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an imaging apparatus and an imaging method that permit capture of a bright image without using an expensive large-diameter lens. A mirror surface having an opening portion larger in area than an imaging element is formed at a former stage of the imaging element. The mirror surface concentrates light from a subject surface. The imaging apparatus captures an image formed by light that directly enters the imaging element and light that is reflected by the mirror surface and reconstructs a final image from the captured image. The present disclosure is applicable to an imaging apparatus.

Abstract: A configuration is realized that can execute image processing reflecting data unique to camera, such as positional relation information between a mask and an image sensor of a lensless camera, to generate a highly accurate restored image. A signal processing unit that receives a photographed image as an output of the image sensor of the lensless camera to generate a restored image is included, and the signal processing unit executes image processing using data unique to camera generated based on at least the positional relation information of the mask and the image sensor of the lensless camera to generate the restored image. The data unique to camera is data generated in a comparison process of a photographed image, which is obtained by photographing one point light source in a forward direction of an optical axis of the lensless camera, and a reference image. The reference image is a simulation image estimated to be acquired in a case where a positional relation between the mask and the image sensor indicates reference positions.

Abstract: An artifact caused by secondary reflection is reduced. An imaging device according to an embodiment includes: a diffuser (110) that converts incident light into scattered light whose diameter is expanded in accordance with a propagation distance and outputs the scattered light; and a light receiver (132) that converts light diffused by the diffuser into an electric signal.
