Abstract:
An imaging method including: controlling luminance distribution of light such that the light continuously attenuates from an inner side toward an edge in a peripheral area within an imaging range of an imaging unit; emitting, in the imaging range, the light whose luminance distribution has been controlled; imaging an object within the imaging range where the light has been emitted to generate image data; sequentially moving the imaging range relative to the object such that peripheral areas where the light attenuates overlap with each other in adjacent imaging ranges; sequentially obtaining a plurality of images with different imaging ranges based on the image data; and creating a combined image by stitching the plurality of images in such a way that adjacent images of the plurality of images corresponding to the adjacent imaging ranges are stitched together such that image areas corresponding to the peripheral areas overlap with each other.
