Abstract
Provided is an imaging device that includes a determination unit that determines two or more regions including first and second regions with respect to an imaging region of an imaging unit on the basis of a degree of focus of an image acquired by the imaging unit. The imaging device further includes a processing unit that generates a first image based on the first region and a second image based on the second region, in which the first image has a higher resolution than the second image.
