Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress an increase in hardware for image processing associated with the number of imaging elements and simplify data handling in an imaging device such as an omnidirectional imaging device that includes a plurality of lenses and a plurality of imaging elements.SOLUTION: An imaging unit 10 includes lenses (fisheye lenses) 11 and 12 and imaging elements 13 and 14. An image processing unit 20 includes buffer memories (line memories) 210 and 220 that each store image data output from the imaging elements 13 and 14 and correspond to the imaging elements, and a single image processing circuit 250 that reads out the image data stored in the buffer memories 210 and 220 in a time-division manner in a line unit to perform predetermined image processing.
