Abstract: A calculation unit (112) acquires a dedicated base vector based on a known spectral characteristic of a subject as an identification target having the known spectral characteristic from a base vector ROM (114), and acquires a spectral characteristic of an imaging system including a spectral characteristic concerning a color imaging system used for image acquisition of subjects including the subject as the identification target and a spectral characteristic concerning illumination light used when image acquisition of the subjects by the color imaging system from a system spectral characteristic ROM (115). Then, it calculates a weighting factor concerning the dedicated base vector based on an image signal obtained by image acquisition of the subject by the color imaging system, the dedicated base vector, and the spectral characteristic of the imaging system. A normalization unit (116) calculates an identification result of the subject which is the identification target having the known spectral characteristic based on the weighting factor concerning the dedicated base vector, and outputs it as an output signal by an output unit (117).

Abstract: An imaging system comprises a color noise estimating unit (14) and a color noise reducing unit (13). The color noise estimating unit (14) is composed of a local region extracting section (26) for calculating a luminance signal and a color difference signal in units of, e.g., 4×4 pixels from a signal of a CCD having a color filter, an average luminance calculating section (28) for calculating the average luminance from the luminance signal, a temperature estimating section (24) for estimating the temperature T of the CCD from a signal of an OB region, a gain calculating section (29) for calculating the gain G of the CCD from information in a control unit (18), and a coefficient calculation section (31) and a function calculation section (33) for estimating the amount of color noise from the average luminance on the basis of formulation using the temperature T and the gain G. The color noise reducing unit (13) reduces the color nose in the color difference signal in units of 4×4 pixels according to the amount of color noise estimated by the color noise estimating section (14).
