Abstract

Provided are an imaging device and an imaging method that can generate images between which a difference in appearance caused by a difference between the polarization directions of received light is suppressed in a case in which different images are generated on the basis of light having different polarization directions. An imaging device () includes: an imaging optical system (); a first polarizer that aligns a polarization direction of light transmitted through a first pupil region and a second pupil region with a first polarization direction; a second polarizer that transmits light in a second polarization direction different from the first polarization direction; an imaging element () that receives the light transmitted through the first pupil region and the second pupil region; and an image generation unit that performing a crosstalk removal process on pixel signals of a first pixel and a second pixel and generates a first image corresponding to the light transmitted through the first pupil region and a second image corresponding to the light transmitted through the second pupil region on the basis of the pixel signals subjected to the crosstalk removal process.
