The present technology includes: a recording unit that records a plurality of image data to be displayed, the plurality of image data imaged and obtained by the imaging apparatus; first image data for detecting foreign body information, the first image data acquired before imaging the plurality of image data to be displayed; second image data for detecting foreign body information, the second image data acquired after imaging the plurality of image data to be displayed; and a controller configured to read the plurality of image data to be displayed recorded in the recording unit, and to detect information relating to the foreign body from the plurality of image data.

Foreign body information detection device and foreign body information detection method of imaging apparatus

A color conversion device generates color data in a second color gamut based on first converted color data and input color data, which are obtained from input color data in a first color gamut, and outputs the color data in the second color gamut. The color conversion device includes a first color mapping unit which generates the first converted color data by mapping the input color data into the second color gamut; a color mixing unit which generates color data by mixing the first converted color data and second converted color data at a ratio corresponding to the first color gamut and the second color gamut; and a color data output unit which outputs the color data.

Color conversion device, color conversion table and color conversion method

The color management module includes a first color converter color-converting color information contained in an image signal having been input according to a three-dimensional LUT; an interpolator generating a synthetic image signal by synthesizing an image signal converted by the first color converter and an image signal having been input in an arbitrary ratio; and a second color converter color-converting color information on the synthetic image signal in the HSV space and outputting the color information.

A tone display method which prevents degradation in image quality of moving images when the subfield method is utilized without an increase in cost. When tone display is performed with 256 tones with respect to one certain color, in each frame, segments 1 to 6 in time are set corresponding to the plural time-shared time bands of the color and each segment includes one or several subfields (sf). In each case, as the tone is increased by 42 (or 43) for segments 1 through 6, sequentially, the subfields in the segment being lit so that the tone is increased continuously. In each segment, the display is performed mostly according to the binary method for the subfields

Tone display method

A tone display method is provided that can prevent image quality deterioration of the dynamic image and can avoid a cost increase. When an image with 256 tones is displayed, one field is divided into 37 subfields for one color. Among the 8 bits corresponding to the 256 tones, the six high-order bits from the third bit are displayed by means of time width modulation using 35 subfields SF,-SF,having weights of &ldquo;&ldquo;4&rdquo; and &ldquo;8&rdquo;. The two low-order bits are displayed on a binary base using two subfields SF,and SF,whose weights are &ldquo;'1&rdquo; and &ldquo;2&rdquo;, respectively.
