ABSTRACT:
An image recording apparatus for recording images sensed by at least two cameras attached to a vehicle, has a first camera which is arranged to have an image sensing direction agreeing with a first direction of a vehicle, a second camera which is arranged at a position separated a known distance r from the first camera to have an image sensing direction agreeing with a second direction about 180° different from the first direction, and a unit for, when the vehicle travels in the first direction, recording first image data sensed by the first camera and second image data sensed by the second camera a time duration later corresponding to the known distance, in association with each other.
