ABSTRACT:
An imaging apparatus, imaging system, and imaging method enabling restoration of image according to a plurality of optical systems by one apparatus, having a plurality of imaging apparatuses100A to100C each having an optical system110, phase plate (optical wavefront modulation element)120, imaging element130able to capture an object aberration image passing through the optical system110and phase plate120, imaging apparatus side storage portion140storing coefficient specifying information for specifying a convolution coefficient, and transmission device150transmitting object aberration image data obtained from the imaging element130and the coefficient specifying information stored in the storage portion140; and a processing device200acquiring one coefficient from among a plurality of convolution coefficients stored in advance based on coefficient specifying information in accordance with a zoom position or zoom amount transmitted from the imaging apparatus100, and generating dispersion-free object image data from a dispersed image signal from the imaging element130.
