To provide a high-performance and low-cost imaging device that can process images captured at a high frame rate without limiting the conventional fundamental performance.SOLUTION: An imaging device 1 has a plurality of imaging units 101 to 103, a moving body detecting unit, and a distance detection unit. At least one imaging unit is an imaging unit that performs imaging at a first frame rate, and at least one imaging unit is an imaging unit that performs imaging at a second frame rate higher than the first frame rate. The moving body detecting unit detects a moving body on the basis of an image acquired by the imaging unit for performing the imaging at the second frame rate. The distance detection unit detects distance to a subject on the basis of parallax of a plurality of images acquired by the plurality of imaging units.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】従来の基本性能を制限することなく、高フレームレートで撮像された画像を処理できる高性能で低コストの撮像装置を提供する。【解決手段】撮像装置１において、複数の撮像部１０１〜１０３と、動体検出部と、距離検出部と、を有する。少なくとも１つの撮像部は、第１のフレームレートで撮像する撮像部であり、少なくとも１つの撮像部は、第１のフレームレートより高い第２のフレームレートで撮像する撮像部である。動体検出部は、第２のフレームレートで撮像する撮像部で取得した画像に基づいて動体を検出する。距離検出部は、複数の撮像部で取得した複数の画像の視差に基づいて被写体との距離を検出する。【選択図】図１
