    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes at least one processor operatively coupled to at least one memory that function as an input unit configured to receive an image signal of a visible light pixel and an image signal of a near-infrared pixel, output from a sensor that includes a visible light pixel component and a near-infrared pixel component, a determination unit configured to determine whether or not an output signal of the near-infrared pixel is higher than a threshold and to produce a determination result, a detector configured to detect a saturated visible light pixel, and a switching unit configured to switch over saturation processing to be applied to the saturated visible light pixel on the basis of the determination result of the determination unit.

    Abstract: A computer, including a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions to be executed by the processor to acquire a first image by illuminating a first object with a first light beam, segment the first image of the first object to determine regions that correspond to a first surface material and determine a first measure of pixel values in regions of the first image that correspond to the first surface material. The instructions include further instructions to perform a comparison of the first measure of pixel values to a second measure of pixel values determined from a second image of a second object, wherein the second image is previously acquired by illuminating the second object with a second light beam and when the comparison determines that the first measure is equal to the second measure of pixel values within a tolerance, determine that the first object and the second object are a same object.

    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.
