    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an optical imaging system that converges light from an object; an imaging device that includes a plurality of pixels, receives the converged light, and converts the received light to an electric signal; a filter unit that is disposed between the optical imaging system and the imaging device and includes a plurality of color filters having different light transmission rate characteristics; and a transmission data compressing circuit that codes the electric signal. An overall light transmission rate characteristic of the filter unit differs randomly in different pixels of the imaging device, and the transmission data compressing circuit weights and codes the electric signal of each of the pixels by using a reciprocal of a proportion of the overall light transmission rate characteristic of the filter unit corresponding to each of the plurality of pixels of the imaging device relative to a wavelength characteristic common among the pixels.

    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus includes a first camera that captures a first image, a second camera that captures a second image, a lens cover that includes transparent parts and ridgelines and that covers the first camera and the second camera, and a processing circuit that identifies a pixel located in an area, in which it is necessary to interpolate a pixel value, in the first image, and generates an output image using the first image and interpolation pixel information for interpolating a pixel value of the identified pixel. Each ridgeline between adjacent parts of the lens cover is twisted with respect to a base line extending between a center of a first lens of the first camera and a center of a second lens of the second camera. An upper part of the lens cover opposes a base on which the first camera and the second camera are disposed.
