Image processing system and camera
First Claim
1. An image processing system that comprises an image photography section including a photography optical system for forming an object image, an image pickup element section for outputting an image signal by picking up the object image formed by the photography optical system, and a photography operation section for performing an image photography-related operation, the image photography section being constituted capable of acquiring a spectroscopic image, the system further comprising:
- mode display means for displaying mode-related information each corresponding to a plurality of modes that the image processing system can adopt.

Abstract
The image processing system is applied to dentistry, for example, and performs photography of the teeth of a patient while causing a plurality of illumination light LEDs of different wavelengths to emit light by means of a photography device when producing a crown repair or denture of the patient, whereby image data are acquired. The image data are transmitted to a dental filing system constituting a processing device where color reproduction data are determined through computation. In addition, color reproduction data are transmitted to the dental technician'"'"'s office via a public switched network. Therefore, a repair material compound ratio calculation database is searched and the compound data for a material that matches the hue of the patient'"'"'s teeth are found, whereby a crown repair or denture or the like that very closely matches the color of the patient'"'"'s teeth is produced.
