An illumination radiates a visible light or a near-infrared light. A lens images a light from a subject. A beam splitter disperses the visible light and the near-infrared light. A color imaging device images a reflecting light from the subject illuminated with the visible light and includes an imaging device having a red filter. A black-and-white imaging device images the near-infrared light dispersed by the beam splitter. A pixel pitch of the black-and-white imaging device that images the near-infrared light dispersed is larger than a pixel pitch of the color imaging device. A sampling position for the near-infrared light is displaced in a pixel arrangement horizontally or vertically with respect to a sampling position for red in a color image.

Imaging device and imaging method for capturing a visible image and a near-infrared image

An image pickup device includes a body case, a grip belt, and a Wi-Fi module stored in the body case. A communication module has a substrate, a processing circuit, and an antenna. The grip belt extends from a first attaching portion provided on a right side surface of the body case to a second attaching portion provided on a side opposite to an opening portion side of a lens barrel of the body case. The communication module is arranged closer to the opening portion of the lens barrel than a reference surface substantially orthogonal to an optical axis and passing through the first attaching portion or in the vicinity of the reference surface.
