<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the color of an observation image from being changed even when the image of a main subject is captured from a remote or a near place. <P>SOLUTION: An endoscope system includes: an electronic endoscope 12 which includes a solid state imaging device 58 mounted in the distal end part of the endoscope 12 and an illumination part 42 disposed adjacent to the solid state element 58, and which, when the distal end part is inserted into a body cavity of a subject, illuminates the subject in the body cavity using the illumination part 42 and captures the image of the subject using the solid state imaging device 58; illumination means 100, 112, 114, 120 which generate illumination light in which three primary color lights being the red light, the green light, and the blue light are mixed, and which emits the illumination light to the subject from the illumination part 42; and an image processing means 86 which, when processing the captured image data of the respective colors being the red light, the green light, and the blue light to be output from the solid state imaging device 58, performs image processing in such a manner that the amount of captured image data in the color of a light quantity becoming smaller compared with the light quantities of the other colors when the intensity of the illumination light is changed, is corrected so as to be increased, or the amount of the captured image data in the color of a light quantity becoming larger compared with the light quantities of the other colors is corrected so as to be reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
