Imaging apparatus mounted on moving object and moving object including imaging apparatus
An imaging apparatus provided in a moving object to capture an image of an area behind the moving object includes an imaging circuit and an optical system. The imaging circuit outputs an image based on an optical image input to a light-receiving surface. The optical system inputs the optical image to the imaging circuit. The optical system forms a first region at a first magnification and a second region at a second magnification lower than the first magnification. The second region is formed around the first region. The imaging apparatus is installed in the moving object so that, on the light-receiving surface of the imaging circuit, an axis passing through a center of the first region and extending in a direction from which the optical system receives light is inclined toward an upper side of the moving object with respect to a backward direction of the moving object.

an imaging apparatus; and
a control circuit,
wherein the imaging apparatus includes,
an imaging circuit configured to generate an image based on an optical image input to a light-receiving surface; and
an optical system for imaging the optical image so that a first region is formed at a first magnification and a second region at a second magnification on the light-receiving surface, the first region being formed around an optical axis, the second region being formed around the first region,
wherein the imaging apparatus is installed in a moving object so that the optical axis of the optical system is inclined upward with respect to an axis corresponding to a traveling direction of the moving object in a backward direction of the moving object,
wherein the control circuit includes,
one or more memories storing instructions; and
one or more processors executing the instructions to:
acquire an image from the imaging apparatus; and
display a first image corresponding to the first region on a first display, and a second image corresponding to the first region and the second region on a second display different from the first display.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging apparatus is installed so that a viewing field range corresponding to the second region includes a rear end of the moving object.
3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging apparatus is installed in the moving object so that a rear end portion of the imaging apparatus is positioned on a front side of a rear end portion of the moving object.
4.
