Abstract: There is provided an imaging system including: a filter array that includes filters having different transmission spectra; an image sensor that images light passing through the filter array and generates image data; and a processing circuit, in which the processing circuit acquires luminance pattern data generated on the basis of subject data that includes spectral information of at least one substance, the luminance pattern data being generated by predicting a luminance pattern detected when the substance is imaged by the image sensor, acquires first image data obtained by imaging a target scene by the image sensor, and generates output data regarding whether the substance is present in the target scene by comparing the luminance pattern data with the first image data.

Abstract: A signal processing method executed by a computer includes acquiring compressed image data including two-dimensional image information of a subject obtained by compressing hyperspectral information in a target wavelength region, acquiring reference spectrum data including information on one or more spectra associated with the subject, and generating, from the compressed image data, pieces of two-dimensional image data corresponding to designated wavelength bands decided on the basis of the reference spectrum data.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes: at least one light source that emits excitation light for irradiating an object including at least one light emitter; a coding filter array including filters whose transmission spectra differ from each other; an image sensor that captures an image of object light, which is generated by irradiating the object with the excitation light, through the coding filter array and generates compressed image data; and a processing circuit that generates hyperspectral image data based on the compressed image data. The object light includes emission light, which is produced by the at least one light emitter by absorbing the excitation light, and reflection light of the excitation light reflected by the object. The filters include two filters whose transmission spectra differ from each other. A spectrum of the excitation light overlaps a transmission region in the transmission spectrum of each of the two filters.
