20110043623 | IMAGING DEVICE - A mode control section controls an image generation section to operate in a normal mode or a polarized light component reduction mode on the basis of a mode signal from a mode signal generation section to cause the image generation section to form a normal image or a polarized light component reduced image. When the possibility of occurrence of stray light is high, the imaging device automatically switches to the polarized light component reduction mode and when the possibility of occurrence of the stray light is low, the imaging device automatically switches to the normal mode. The polarized light component reduced image is obtained by reducing or eliminating stray light having a polarized light component, and the normal image is formed without reducing the stray light. Thus, the imaging device is capable of automatically switching between the two modes. | 02-24-2011 |
