Abstract
An imaging device includes a lens array including multiple lenses facing a subject; an image sensor obtaining a compound-eye image including single-eye images of the subject formed by the lenses; and a computing unit processing the compound-eye image obtained by the image sensor. The lenses have different radii of curvature and substantially the same back focal length, and the computing unit extracts an in-focus image from the compound-eye image.
