Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes: a reflector which covers an imaging space on a pathway that a human passes through, from at least one of both sides of the pathway, and diffusely reflects a sub-terahertz wave; a first light source which emits a sub-terahertz wave onto the reflector; and a first detector which receives a reflected wave of the sub-terahertz wave emitted from the first light source, diffusely reflected by the reflector, and reflected by the human, and generates an image based on the reflected wave received. The first light source and the first detector are located at a first direction side relative to a center of the imaging space in a direction in which the pathway extends.
