Abstract:
1. An image generation system comprising: a plurality of light receiving elements, each of the plurality of light receiving elements being for receiving a corresponding light of light (i) having different wavelengths and (ii) including ultraviolet light, so as to generate a plurality of pieces of image data, such that each of the plurality of pieces of image data represents an image of a same object formed by the corresponding light, and such that light receiving elements, of the plurality of light receiving elements, that receive the ultraviolet light are arranged at an interval shorter than a size of a circle of least confusion of light having a wavelength longer than a wavelength of the ultraviolet light; an image input circuit that receives the plurality of pieces of image data; and an image processing circuit that corrects first image data included in the plurality of pieces of image data, by adding, to the first image data, a spatial high frequency component contained in second image data included in the plurality of pieces of image data, the first image data corresponding to the light having the wavelength longer than the wavelength of the ultraviolet light, and the second image data corresponding to the ultraviolet light.
