Abstract: A first line passing through a coordinate point which represents the light-source color of ambient light is drawn so as to cross a line segment connecting two coordinate points which points respectively represent colors of light emitted from the two light-emitting sources. An image of a subject is captured while light is emitted from the two light-emitting sources toward the subject in such a manner that the volumes of light emitted from the two light-emitting sources respectively correspond to those represented by a predetermined point which is, or close to, the intersection point of the first line and the line segment on the basis of the intersection point and light volume information. A White Balance adjustment correction value is obtained on the basis of light volume information with respect to the two light-emitting sources, the predetermined point, and the point representing the light-source color.

Abstract: An imaging device is provided with the following: a trial shading-correction unit that performs trial shading correction on image data for each of a plurality of types of light source on the basis of correction information stored in a correction-information storage unit for each light-source type; a correction-information selection unit (whereby the results of the shading correction performed by the trial shading-correction unit for each light-source type are compared to each other and correction information corresponding to an appropriate shading-correction result is selected from among the correction information stored by the correction-information storage unit per light-source type; and a shading correction unit that performs color-shading correction on the image data on the basis of the correction information selected by the correction-information selection unit.

Abstract: There is provided a system for editing image data in which addition to and correction of image data constructed by a set of dot data can be effected in an extremely simple operation while attaining the matching between the parameters such as the width of a line, the radius, the inclination, and the size of characters of the added or corrected portion and those of the image data. A connected area included in the image data is stored in a connected area data buffer. When a desired point of the image data is specified, a diagram constituent parameter deriving section extracts a connected area adjacent to the specified point from the connected area data buffer and derives diagram constituent parameters such as the width of a line, the inclination, the radius of a circle, the central point, the size of a character string and the character pitch for the connected area. The parameters can be used when the edition is effected by an edition processing section.
