Title:
IMAGE INPUTTING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/053029
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is an image inputting apparatus wherein luminance signals having a high S/N ratio can be generated even during nighttime with a small quantity of photons.  An imaging element (3) images image components (Ye, R, IR, W).  A color signal generating section (42) generates color signals (dR, dG, dB) from the image components (Ye, R, IR, W).  A color space conversion section (43) converts the color signals (dR, dG, dB) into a color space that includes luminance signals and color difference signals.  The color space conversion section (43) calculates a luminance signal (Yadd) obtained by adding the image components (Ye, R, IR, W), as the luminance signal of the color space to be converted.
