Abstract
An imaging apparatus according to the present invention includes an imaging unit having a discrete pixel structure and being adapted to output directly signals of respective M sample points corresponding to M pixels per single frame in normal imaging for imaging at a first frame rate and to add signals of respective N pixels out of M pixels per single frame and output signals of M/N sample points (M and N are integers equal to or greater than 2) at each frame in high-speed imaging for imaging at a second frame rate greater than the first frame rate; and an operation unit being adapted to output directly output signals from the imaging unit in the normal imaging and to perform interpolation operations on the output signals from the imaging unit for interpolating signals of the (N−1) sample points between respective sample points to output interpolated signals of the M sample points in the high-speed imaging.
