IMAGING DEVICE, ENDOSCOPE DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

The present invention addresses the problem of increasing the exposure time for illumination light having a specific reference color and obtaining a desirable color image. The present invention is characterized by being provided with an illumination unit (23) which is capable of emitting three reference colors of illumination light onto a subject (A), an illumination control unit (24) for controlling the illumination unit (23), an imaging unit (22) which time-sequentially captures three color images of the subject (A) corresponding to the three colors during a unit imaging period, and a signal processing unit (12) for generating a color image on the basis of the captured three color images, said illumination control unit (24) causing red illumination light to be continuously emitted throughout the unit imaging period and green illumination light and blue illumination light to be respectively emitted in two blanking periods within the unit imaging period.
