Zusammenfassung:An illumination device 110 projects pulse illumination light L1 to a visual field. In a multitap image sensor 120, one pixel includes a plurality of floating diffusion (FD) regions. A camera controller 130 controls the light emission timing of the illumination device 110, and the exposure timing of the image sensor 120. A pulse exposure region fdp, which is one of the plurality of FD regions, is allocated for generation of a slice image SIMG, and a continuous exposure region fdc, which is another one of the FD regions, is allocated for generation of a normal image NIMG. The image sensor 120 executes, with reflection light of the pulse illumination light L1 from the visual field, multiple exposures by using the pulse exposure region fdp to thereby generate the slice image SIMG, and exposure by using the continuous exposure region fdc in a segment where the pulse exposure region fdp is not used to thereby generate the normal image NIMG.
