Abstract:
An image generating system according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes an image obtaining device, an image generating circuit, and an image processing circuit. The image obtaining device includes an illuminating system that irradiates an object included in a module in which the object and an imaging element are integrated together, with light sequentially from a plurality of different radiation directions. The image obtaining device obtains a plurality of images corresponding to the plurality of different radiation directions. The image generating circuit generates a high-resolution image of the object having a higher resolution than each of the plurality of images by combining the plurality of images together. The image processing circuit detects noise resulting from a foreign object located farther from an imaging surface of the imaging element than the object and removes the noise.
