IMAGING DEVICE, COLOUR-CORRECTION METHOD AND COLOUR-CORRECTION PROGRAM

Title:

IMAGING DEVICE, COLOUR-CORRECTION METHOD AND COLOUR-CORRECTION PROGRAM

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/080785

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

An imaging device is provided with: a photochromatic element for controlling the intensity of incident imaging light; an imaging element for acquiring an imaging signal on the basis of the imaging light output from the photochromatic element; and a colour-correction processing part for performing colour-correction with respect to the imaging signal obtained by the imaging element, on the basis of information relating to the intensity of the imaging light output from the photochromatic element. The colour-correction processing part performs colour correction in such a way that the colour balance value in the imaging signal becomes roughly uniform without being dependent on the intensity of the imaging light output from the photochromatic element.
