Patent ID: 7768560

Claim:
A multiband camera control apparatus comprising: a multiband camera configured to capture a plurality of color bands; a computer configured to control the multiband camera; a user interface configured to transmit instruction information for the control from a user to the computer; and a parameter storage section configured to store parameters configured to control a corresponding band, respective parameters being provided for each of the plurality of bands, wherein the parameters include a plurality of parameter values necessary to set the multiband camera, for each of the plurality of bands; wherein the user interface includes a switching instruction section configured to input an instruction to switch between the plurality of bands; wherein the computer is configured to control the multiband camera by using the parameters corresponding to the band selected according to the instruction to switch between the plurality of bands from the switching instruction section; wherein when a setting of any band of the multiband camera has been changed, a parameter value of the band is changed to correspond to the changed setting, and the changed parameter value is stored in the parameter storage section; wherein the multiband camera includes an exposure control section configured to change exposure information, the exposure control section being configured to be controlled by the computer; wherein one of the parameter values for each band is exposure information; and wherein when a setting of exposure information has been changed in capturing, the exposure information parameter value is changed to correspond to the changed exposure information, and the changed exposure information parameter value is stored in the parameter storage section.
