Abstract
The illumination device has a plurality of light-emitting pixels which are individually on/off controllable, and emits a reference light having a random intensity distribution. The photodetector detects light reflected from an object. The processing device reconstructs an image of the object OBJ, by calculating a correlation between a detection intensity b based on an output of the photodetector, and the intensity distribution I of the reference light. The plurality of light-emitting pixels are divided into the m (m≥2) areas each containing n (n≥2) adjoining light-emitting pixels. By selecting one light-emitting pixel from each of the m areas without overlapping, the n light-emitting pixel groups are determined. The imaging apparatus carries out sensing for every light-emitting pixel group.
