To image an object using an appropriate imaging interval.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus 100 comprises: a camera unit 300 that is installed in a vehicle 500 and images an internal wall surface of a tunnel 600 while moving; and an imaging control unit 1101 that controls the camera unit 300. The camera unit 300 divides an object domain 600A of a tunnel 600 into a plurality of imaging domains d along an X direction being a moving direction of the vehicle 500 to image the object domain 600A on an internal wall surface of the tunnel 600 at a predetermined imaging interval, and the imaging control unit 1101 controls the camera unit 300 to image each of the plurality of imaging domains d at an imaging interval determined associating with the object domain 600A.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9 【課題】適切な撮像間隔で対象物を撮像すること。【解決手段】撮像装置１００は、車両５００に設置され、移動しながらトンネル６００の内壁面を撮像するカメラユニット３００と、カメラユニット３００を制御する撮像制御部１１０１と、を備え、カメラユニット３００は、トンネル６００の内壁面における対象領域６００Ａを、車両５００の移動方向であるＸ方向に沿って所定の撮像間隔でトンネル６００の対象領域６００Ａを複数の撮像領域ｄに分けて撮像するものであり、撮像制御部１１０１は、複数の撮像領域ｄのそれぞれを、対象領域６００Ａに対応付けて決定される撮像間隔で撮像するように、カメラユニット３００を制御する。【選択図】図９
