Imaging apparatus with multiple images being formed on a single light receiving surface

Abstract

Provided is an imaging apparatus configured to acquire a telephoto image and a wide-angle image at high resolution. An imaging apparatus (10) includes an imaging optical system (11) and an imaging device (12). The imaging optical system includes a first optical member (111) including a semi-transmissive reflective surface and a second optical member (112) including a reflective surface. The imaging device is configured to capture an image formed through the imaging optical system. Multiple images of different focal lengths are formed on a single light receiving surface of the imaging device. The imaging apparatus (10) may include a controller (13) configured to acquire an image signal from the imaging device (12) and separate the multiple images through image processing.
