An image pickup device and a stereoscopic image generation device can obtain video signals necessary for a plurality of signal channels with ease in a simple manner. Video signals of channels that correspond only to light of the first optical image and that of the second optical image can be generated by converging the horizontal component L1 of light of the first optical image from the subject transmitted by means of a horizontal component polarizing filter 3 and polarizing filters HF1, HF3, HF5, . . . to the pixels on the odd first line V1OL1, the even first line V1EL1, the odd second line V1OL2, the even second line V1EL2, . . . of CCD 2 and converging the vertical component L2 of light of the second optical image from the subject by means of a vertical component polarizing filter 4 and polarizing filters HF2, HF4, HF6, . . . to the pixels on the odd first line V2OL1, the even first line V2EL1, the odd second line V2OL2, the even second line V2EL2, . . . , of CCD 2.
