Abstract

See full text

A method includes the steps of emitting infrared light of a predetermined wavelength to an object, receiving infrared light of a predetermined wavelength different from the infrared light emitted from the object, and adjusting white balance of an image output from a camera at this time, thereby showing the incident infrared light as white. The method further includes the steps of emitting white visible light to the object from an RGB light source, receiving visible light emitted from the object, and adjusting the intensity of the RGB light source for each of R, G, and B, thereby adjusting white balance of a captured image.
