To easily acquire an image used to create a three-dimensional reconstruction model.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus includes a plurality of imaging bodies and an imaging control unit. Each of the imaging bodies includes a first optical element capable of imaging a range including a hemisphere directed in a first direction of the optical axis by using the optical axis as a center and a second optical element capable of imaging an area including a hemisphere directed in a second direction opposite to the first direction of the optical axis by using the optical axis as a center, and is arranged in alignment in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis. The imaging control unit synchronizes the plurality of imaging bodies to perform imaging control, and acquires a captured image from each of the plurality of imaging bodies.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】３次元復元モデルの作成に用いる画像を容易に取得可能とする。【解決手段】撮像装置は、複数の撮像体と、撮像制御部とを備える。撮像体は、光軸を中心とした、光軸の第１の方向に向けた半球を含む範囲を撮像可能な第１の光学素子と、光軸を中心とした、光軸の第１の方向と逆方向の第２の方向に向けた半球を含む範囲を撮像可能な第２の光学素子と、をそれぞれ含み、光軸と直交する方向に整列して配置される。撮像制御部は、複数の撮像体を同期させて撮像制御して、複数の撮像体それぞれから撮像画像を取得する。【選択図】図３
