Abstract
Provided is an imaging device that includes an imaging element that reads out, in a first readout period that is part of a first subframe period, first electric charge signals of pixels, read out, in a second readout period that is part of a second subframe period, second electric charge signals of the pixels, generate a first subframe image based on the first electric charge signals, and generate a second subframe image based on the second electric charge signals, an irradiation control unit that controls such that, in an irradiation period, infrared light is radiated and, in a period other than the irradiation period, infrared light is not radiated, and a color image generation unit that generates a color image at the predetermined frame rate based on the first subframe image and the second subframe image.
