  • Imaging system and imaging method
    Patent number: 9029777
    Abstract: Provided is an imaging system, including: a light source; an imaging device; a first optical system for irradiating an imaging object with light from the light source; a second optical system for causing one of light reflected from the imaging object and light transmitted through the imaging object to enter the imaging device; a control device for controlling the light source to irradiate the light with a predetermined period; and a processing device for acquiring time-series image data over a plurality of frames by controlling the light source to irradiate the light with the predetermined period, and allocating a maximum pixel intensity among the time-series pixel data of each pixel as pixel data of the each pixel to thereby obtain first image data when the light source irradiates the light.
