20080255411 | TOOL FOR ENDOSCOPE AND ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM - An endoscope system includes a light source, a scope, a detector, an adjuster, and a tool. The light source emits illuminating light to illuminate a subject. The scope transmits the illuminating light for emission from the end of the scope. The detector detects the luminance and/or chromaticity of an entering light that enters the scope. The adjuster adjusts the light amount and/or white balance of the illuminating light, based on the luminance and/or chromaticity of the entering light. The end of the scope is inserted into the tool. The tool includes a reflecting member that reflects the illuminating light emitted from the end of the scope so as to become the entering light. The distance between the end of the scope that is inserted into the tool and the reflecting member is adjustable. | 10-16-2008 |
20080252738 | Imaging Device - An imaging device has an image sensor, and a color filter. The color filter is located on the image sensor and has at least four color elements that respectively have different spectral transmission properties. Further, the imaging device has a matrix-selection processor and a color conversion processor. The matrix-selection processor detects the spectral distribution properties of an object that are present in the series of color signals. Then, the matrix-selection processor selects one color matrix appropriate for the detected spectral distribution property from a plurality of color matrices according to the particular spectral distribution properties of a given object. The color-conversion processor generates R, G, and B primary color signals from the series of color signals by a color-conversion process using the selected color matrix. | 10-16-2008 |
