  • Publication number: 20160270755
    Abstract: A radiation imaging apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a plurality of pixels and a signal processing unit configured to read out an analog signal from each pixel and output an image signal. The signal processing unit comprises a conversion unit configured to convert the analog signal into a digital signal using an A/D converter such that the digital signals of a first group pixels include a first offset components and the digital signals of a second group pixels include a second offset components, and a digital signal processing unit. The digital signal processing unit calculates a correction value using the digital signals of the first and the second group pixels, and performs correction of reducing an influence caused by the A/D converter in the digital signals of the first group pixels using the correction value, thereby generating the image signal.

  • Publication number: 20160097912
    Abstract: The present invention provides an imaging device in which focus movement due to a temperature variation is suppressed and the infiltration of foreign matter such as liquid or dust is prevented. An imaging device 10 is provided with an imaging lens 11, an imaging element 12, and an intermediate member 15. The imaging lens 11 is held by a lens-barrel 13 and forms an image of a photographic subject. The imaging element 12 captures the image of the photographic subject which is formed by the imaging lens 11. The intermediate member 15 has, on the inner-peripheral-surface of one end thereof, a flange portion 15a which comes into contact with the lens-barrel 13, and holds the lens-barrel 13 by joining the front surface 26 of a flange portion 13b of the lens-barrel 13 and the surface 27 on the imaging element 12 side of the flange portion 15a to each other.
