Abstract
An imaging device includes a first imager having a first imaging range; and a second imager having a second imaging range, the second imager being asymmetrical relative to the first imager with respect to a centerline of an overlapping area between the first imaging range and the second imaging range to have a first disparity. The first disparity is smaller than a second disparity of an imaging device comprising a third imager having a third imaging range and a fourth imager having a fourth imaging range. The fourth imager is symmetrical relative to the third imager with respect to the centerline of an overlapping area between the third imaging range and the fourth imaging range.
