Abstract
The 3D image capture device of this invention includes: a light-transmitting sectionwith light-transmitting areas C, Cand Cthat have mutually different transmission wavelength ranges; a solid-state image sensorarranged to receive the light that has been transmitted through the light-transmitting section; and an optical systemconfigured to produce an image on an imaging area of the solid-state image sensor, which includes a photosensitive cell array and a color filter array on the imaging area. The transmission wavelength ranges of the light-transmitting areas and the color filters are defined such that the light that has been transmitted through at least one of the light-transmitting areas C, Cand Cis transmissible through at least two of the color filters. A signal processing section generates data of at least two images with parallax by generating signals representing at least two of the respective intensities of light rays that are incident on the light-transmitting areas based on the output signals of the photosensitive cells.
