Abstract
An imaging unit (1) images an imaging object and acquires image data. On the other hand, imaging information which is information at the time of imaging is acquired by an imaging information acquisition unit (2). A storage unit (3) contains image correction information for correcting the acquired image. An imaging information analysis unit (4) analyzes the imaging object and the imaging condition from the imaging information given from the imaging information acquisition unit (2) and reads out image correction information appropriate for the acquired image from the storage unit (3). An image processing unit (5) subjects the image data on the imaging object obtained by the imaging unit (1) to a correction process according to the image correction information obtained by the image correction information acquisition unit (4).
