Abstract
An imaging assembly includes an image acquisition circuit provided in a rear portion of a moving body. The image acquisition circuit includes an optical circuit and an image capturing circuit. The optical circuit forms an image in a first region and an image in a second region on the peripheral side having a lower image capturing magnification than the first region. A light receiving surface of the image capturing circuit includes a region in which light is incident along the optical axis of the optical circuit through the first region, and a region in which light is incident through the second region. The image acquisition circuit is disposed so that the optical axis of the optical circuit passes through an opening provided in the moving body, and light from the rear end of the moving body is incident on the image capturing surface.
