Abstract
The invention enables image processing of visible light and near-infrared light using an imaging device. An acquisition unit () acquires an image signal representing an image including near-infrared light that has an intensity according to a pattern having a prescribed geometric shape. A signal processing unit () uses pattern information which defines the pattern to output, a color signal representing visible light components corresponding to the image signal and a near-infrared signal representing near-infrared light components corresponding to the image signal.
