Title:
ILLUMINATOR, IMAGER, AND IMAGING SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/103856
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An illuminator (20) performs illumination light communication, and signals indicative of the luminance of an object (30) illuminated with illumination light and the color temperature of the illumination light are superposed on the illumination light. An electronic camera (10) demodulates the illumination light received by a light-receiving circuit and determines the aperture value, the shutter value, and the color temperature regulation criterion at the time of color regulation processing depending on luminance information included in the demodulation signal, imaging sensitivity and color temperature information set in the electronic camera (10).
