To provide an imaging apparatus, an image processing apparatus and a method for generating a full celestial spherical image from an image on the basis of light condensed by a plurality of imaging optical systems.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus 10 includes: a plurality of imaging optical systems 20A and 20B for collecting light; imaging elements 22 for converting the light condensed by the plurality of imaging optical systems 20A and 20B into an image; and a sensor for acquiring inclination information. The plurality of imaging optical systems 20A and 20B collect light in overlapping regions, and the imaging apparatus 10 has means for generating a full celestial image from the image on the basis of the tilt information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】 複数の結像光学系により集光された光に基づく画像から全天球画像を生成するための撮像装置、画像処理装置および方法を提供すること。【解決手段】 本撮像装置１０は、光を集光する複数の結像光学系２０Ａ，２０Ｂと、複数の結像光学系２０Ａ，２０Ｂで集光された光を画像に変換する撮像素子２２と、傾き情報を取得するセンサと、を有する。複数の結像光学系２０Ａ，２０Ｂは、重複する領域を集光しており、撮像装置１０は、傾き情報に基づいて、画像から全天球画像を生成する手段を有する。【選択図】 図４
