Imaging device, imaging system, and imaging method
First Claim
1. A display control system for a vehicle having a camera comprising:
- a distortion correcting unit configured to correct a left side region distortion and a right side region distortion of a first wide-angle image derived from a captured image captured by a single camera of the vehicle with a wide angle lens, the first wide-angle image including the left side region distortion and the right side region distortion based on the wide angle lens;
an image generating unit configured to generate a second wide-angle image derived from the captured image, the second wide-angle image including a left-directional image, a right-directional image and a one-directional image based on the first wide-angle image; and
a control unit configured to selectively display either (a) the first wide-angle image with distortion or (b) the second wide-angle image;
wherein the left-directional image in the second wide-angle image is generated based on the distortion-corrected left side region of the first wide-angle image and is positioned at the left side in the display of the second wide angle image;
wherein the right-directional image in the second wide-angle image is generated based on the distortion-corrected right side region of the first wide-angle image and is positioned at the right side in the display of the second wide angle image; and
the display on a display device in the vehicle of the first wide angle image with distortion is changed over to display on the display device the second wide angle image in response to a selection input.

Abstract
An imaging device includes: an image sensor that photoelectrically converts subject light to generate image signals; a storage portion that sets a second area within a first area so as to correspond to a specific area specified by a setting value for setting an extracting range of an image based on the image signals; a timing adjustment unit that adjusts the timing at which the image signals are read from the image sensor and written to the storage portion and the timing at which the image signals are read from the storage portion; an image conversion processor that performs predetermined processing on the image based on the image signals read from the image sensor; an output unit that converts processed image signals with continuous scanning timing into image signals of a predetermined format and outputs the image signals to a display unit.
