Abstract
An imaging device includes a plurality of pixels that receives incident light entering from an object after passing through neither an imaging lens nor a pinhole, and each outputs a detection signal indicating an output pixel value modulated in accordance with an incident angle of the incident light. The imaging device is attached to a vehicle so that a light receiving surface faces a side of the vehicle, and the average of the centroids of incident angle directivities indicating directivities of the plurality of pixels with respect to the incident angle of the incident light deviates in one direction from the center of the pixel. The present technology can be applied to an electronic sideview mirror, for example.
