Abstract
The present technology relates to an imaging device, a signal processing device, and a vehicle control system enabling proper driving support when a vehicle enters a road from the outside of the road. An imaging device includes: an imaging unit that captures an image of a front of a vehicle; and an object detection unit that performs object detection processing on the basis of the image captured by the imaging unit, wherein the object detection unit changes an object detection method on the basis of a positional relationship between the vehicle and a road where the vehicle enters from an outside. The present technology can be applied to an imaging device installed in, for example, various vehicles that perform driving support.
