Abstract
An image taking unit takes an image by using a specific light projector which emits specific light in a wavelength region corresponding to one of the three primary colors of light and by exposing light receivers which are sensitive to light in wavelength regions corresponding to the three primary colors of light. A marker pulse generator generates an exposure timing pulse for the image taking unit, and an emission timing pulse for the specific light projector on the basis of a reference signal. A color image creator creates a color image from an image taken by the image taking unit. A synchronous detection processor creates a detection image by performing a synchronous detection process on the image taken by the image taking unit by use of the reference signal.
