Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an image-capturing apparatus, an image-capturing method, and an image-capturing device that allow reduction of an influence of diffraction due to opening sections of a mask in lensless image-capturing. Before a mask, a band-pass filter that is divided into a plurality of areas, each of which transmits incident light in a different wavelength band, is provided, and the mask that includes opening sections, and modulates the incident light, which has been transmitted through the band-pass filter, in the wavelength bands that are different for the individual areas is provided. The opening sections of the mask have such unit sizes that blurring resulting from diffraction which occurs to each wavelength of the incident light is minimized. The present disclosure can be applied to a lensless image-capturing apparatus.
