A vehicle-mounted camera and a mobile body that improve the quality of a captured image are provided. The vehicle-mounted camera includes a lens arranged closest to a subject side and a housing that supports the lens. The lens is at least partially subjected to a surface treatment that changes its water-contact characteristics, or the housing has at least a shape to change its water-contact characteristics or is at least subjected to a surface treatment that changes the water-contact characteristics.

Vehicle-mounted camera and mobile body

An imaging apparatus includes an image sensor and an image processor. The image sensor has at least one type of color filter and a specific filter disposed thereon in a manner corresponding to each pixel on a light receiving surface. The specific filter transmits light in a particular wavelength range in which spectral irradiance of sunlight is lower than that in wavelength ranges adjacent to either side of the particular wavelength range. The image processor detects an emission state of a particular light source based on a signal component of an image signal generated by pixels having the specific filters thereon. The particular light source is different from the sunlight.

Imaging apparatus with image sensor for detecting light in an atmospheric peak and vehicle having same

Provided is an imaging apparatus () including an imaging optical system (), an image sensor (), one or more circuit boards including at least one of the image sensor and an electronic component mounted thereon, a housing () including an opening that exposes the imaging optical system to a subject and supporting the imaging optical system, the image sensor, and the one or more circuit boards, a signal terminals () that transmit an image signal of the subject image captured by the image sensor to an outside of the housing, and a heat transfer unit () having heat conductivity connected to the plurality of terminals, the heat transfer unit that transfers heat generated from at least one of the image sensor and the electronic component to the plurality of terminals.

Imaging apparatus and vehicle

A lens includes a lens body comprising a cylindrical surface along an optical axis direction and a fixed portion radially outwardly protruding from the lens body, comprising a diameter diminishing more and more from an image side toward a subject side along an optical axis of the lens body, and including an inclined surface contiguous to the cylindrical surface of the lens body.

Lens, lens unit, and imaging apparatus

Information is acquired to contribute to determining the existence of at least one of an attachment anomaly in attachment of an imaging unit to a car and an attachment anomaly in attachment of a predetermined fixed object to the car. An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit and an image processor. The imaging unit captures an image of the surroundings of the car. The image processor detects continuous variation of a predetermined subject appearing in at least one predetermined region that is a portion of the entire region of the image captured by the imaging unit. The image processor makes a determination of whether an attachment anomaly exists based on the continuous variation.

Imaging apparatus, car, and variation detection method

An imaging module is provided with: a front case, in which a lens unit is mounted on a side of the subject to be imaged; a back case, which is attached to the front case and seals an imaging substrate in an inside space formed with the front case; and a bracket attached to the back case, and the back case is attached to the front case by case a case fastening screw that is screwed into a screw hole and a case screw-fastening through-hole, and the positioning protrusionis inserted into the case screw-fastening through-hole, so that the back case is positioned on the bracket.
