Abstract
A monitoring camera includes an image-capturing element that has a plurality of pixels, and that is configured to acquire, for each of the pixels, a blue component signal, a red component signal, and a green component signal corresponding to light which is from a subject and which is incident through fog or haze, an optical filter that is disposed between the subject and the image-capturing element, and that is configured to transmit specific-wavelength light having a wavelength equal to or larger than a specific wavelength among light from the subject, and a processor that is configured to generate and output a captured image of the subject based on either a blue component signal, a red component signal and a green component signal for each of the pixels corresponding to the specific-wavelength light or a blue component signal for each of the pixels corresponding to the specific-wavelength light.
