Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing device that captures an image of light from a subject, the light passing through each of wavelength band filters having invisible wavelengths as passbands, in which parts of the passbands of the filters whose center wavelengths are adjacent to each other mutually overlap, and a control unit that causes the image capturing device to capture an image of the light from the subject on which a first irradiation light is irradiated, the first irradiation light having a first spectral distribution in which parts of the respective passbands of the filters overlap with one another, and causes the image capturing device to capture an image of the light from the subject on which a second irradiation light is irradiated, the second irradiation light having a second spectral distribution in which parts of the respective passbands of the filters overlap with one another.

Claim (Index 10):
A non-transitory image capturing computer program product having computer instructions, recorded on a computer readable medium, of an image capturing apparatus comprising an image capturing device that captures an image of light from a subject, the light passing through each of a plurality of bandpass filters having invisible wavelengths as passbands, in which parts of the passbands of filters whose center wavelengths are closest to each other mutually overlap, wherein the image capturing computer program product enables a computer to execute the computer instructions to perform operations comprising:\n a first image capturing processing step of causing the image capturing device to capture an image of the light from the subject on which a first irradiation light is irradiated, the first irradiation light having a first spectral distribution in which parts of the respective passbands of the plurality of bandpass filters overlap with one another; and a second image capturing processing step of causing the image capturing device to capture an image of the light from the subject on which a second irradiation light is irradiated, the second irradiation light having a second spectral distribution which is different from the first spectral distribution and in which parts of the respective passbands of the plurality of bandpass filters overlap with one another, wherein the first spectral distribution and the second spectral distribution are distributions that have no intensity in at least parts of the respective passbands of the plurality of bandpass filters.
