Imaging apparatus with scene analysis

摘要

An imaging apparatus comprises an image-capturing element that outputs image signals representing a plurality of color components and an analyzing device that analyzes a captured photographic image based upon image signals with linearity, which are output from the image-capturing element.

主权项

1. An imaging apparatus, comprising:
a photographic image-capturing element that outputs photographic image signals representing a plurality of color components by capturing a subject image passing through a photographic lens; an auxiliary image-capturing element that outputs auxiliary image signals representing a plurality of color components by capturing the subject image passing through the photographic lens; and an analyzing device that extracts an achromatic area of a photographic subject within an entire area of a photographic image by analyzing the color components of the auxiliary image signals with linearity.
