    摘要: An imaging apparatus and method for multi-spectral imaging is described. The imaging apparatus includes an imaging element that takes an image of a subject, a multi-spectral filter that has a plurality of spectral filters dispersing incident light on the imaging element by predetermined wavelength regions, and a drive unit that drives the multi-spectral filter without stopping the individual spectral filters and continuously switches the spectral filters to cover an opening in the imaging element. The imaging apparatus detects whether a boundary between adjacent ones of the plurality of spectral filters included in the multi-spectral filter is in a position to block the opening in the imaging element, and performs signal processing for invalidating an image output from the imaging element in a period in which it is detected that the boundary between the spectral filters is in the position to block the opening in the imaging element.

    摘要: The present technology relates to an optical apparatus and an information processing method capable of more easily obtaining an indicator value. In the optical apparatus according to the present technology, irradiation light including a predetermined irradiation wavelength band is emitted, first reflected light being a reflected light in a first wavelength band obtained by reflection of the emitted irradiation light on a predetermined object and second reflected light being reflected light in a second wavelength band obtained by reflection of the irradiation light on the object are received at a plurality of pixels; and a value of a predetermined indicator relating to a region in a predetermined range of the object is obtained on the basis of a received light amount of each of the received first reflected light and the received second reflected light. For example, the present technology can be applied to optical apparatuses, electronic apparatuses, imaging apparatuses, and information processing apparatuses.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an imaging apparatus, an iris device, an imaging method, and a program that are capable of performing multispectral imaging in a small mechanism. The imaging apparatus includes: an image sensor that captures an image of a subject; an optical system that forms an image on the image sensor with light from the subject; and an iris mechanism that restricts the amount of light passing through the optical system. The iris mechanism includes aperture blades that adjust a size of an aperture causing the light from the subject to pass through the aperture, and an optical filter that is provided to at least one of the aperture blades and transmits light having a predetermined wavelength. The aperture blades are driven to positions where the aperture has a predetermined size, in a state where the optical filter provided to the at least one of the aperture blades is hidden by one of the aperture blades other than the aperture blade of the optical filter. The aperture blades provided with predetermined optical filters are driven such that the predetermined optical filters sequentially cover the aperture at predetermined timings. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an imaging apparatus including an iris mechanism.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to an imaging apparatus and an imaging method that allow multi-spectral images to be taken at high speeds and in a reliable manner.The imaging apparatus includes an imaging element that takes an image of a subject, a multi-spectral filter that has a plurality of spectral filters dispersing incident light on the imaging element by predetermined wavelength regions, and a drive unit that drives the multi-spectral filter without stopping the individual spectral filters and continuously switches the spectral filters to cover an opening in the imaging element. In addition, the imaging apparatus detects whether a boundary between adjacent ones of the plurality of spectral filters included in the multi-spectral filter is in a position to block the opening in the imaging element, and performs signal processing for invalidating an image output from the imaging element in a period in which it is detected that the boundary between the spectral filters is in the position to block the opening in the imaging element. The present technology is applicable to an imaging apparatus that is capable of taking multi-spectral images, for example.
