Abstract
There is provided an imaging device including: an imaging section configured to set pixels as polarization pixels having any of polarization directions, the pixels generating pixel signals on the basis of incident light; a polarization direction rotating section provided on an incidence plane side of the imaging section, and configured to rotate a polarization direction of the incident light; and a control section configured to control the imaging section and the polarization direction rotating section to generate a polarized image or a non-polarized image having higher resolution than resolution of the polarized image.
