Image pickup device

Abstract

An imaging device includes a multifocal lens switchable between a plurality of types of angular fields, an angular field controller, an image sensor, a signal processor, and an image processor. The angular field controller receives angular field information indicating an angular field used for capturing an image, and controls the angular field of the multifocal lens based on the angular field information. The image sensor converts light passing through the multifocal lens into an electrical signal. The signal processor converts the electrical signal into an image signal. The image processor receives the angular field information and the image signal, performs predetermined image processing on the image signal based on a parameter which is predetermined in accordance with the angular field information, and externally outputs the image data obtained by the image processing.
