  • Patent number: 11743604
    Abstract: An imaging device includes: a pixel array part in which a plurality of pixel groups each including four pixels arranged in a matrix of 2×2 is arrayed. As a pixel group including four pixels, there are formed a first pixel group that includes three pixels that receive red light and one pixel that receives infrared light, a second pixel group that includes three pixels that receive blue light and one pixel that receives infrared light, a third pixel group that includes three pixels that receive green light and one pixel that receives infrared light, and a fourth pixel group that includes three pixels that receive green light and one pixel that receives infrared light. Four pixel groups including the first pixel group, the second pixel group, the third pixel group, and the fourth pixel group are arranged to form a set of 2×2 units in which the first pixel group and the second pixel group are diagonally positioned, and the third pixel group and the fourth pixel group are diagonally positioned.

  • Publication number: 20020048459
    Abstract: An carried out camera that is easy to handle is provided. The camera body is composed of a lens fixed on a side face of the camera body and an imaging device, and the camera body can turn/rotate around a horizontal axis of a body section. When imaging is not performed, the camera body is turned/rotated such that the side face on which the lens is fixed faces the body section to house the lens inside for protection of the lens. When imaging is performed, the camera body is turned/rotated such that the side face on which the lens is fixed and a side face on which a display section and an operation input section of the body section are provided are in parallel to each other to expose the lens to the outside. When a status such that the lens is directed to the outside so as to enabling imaging is detected, imaging processing using a camera section is started.
