Abstract

An imaging system 1 includes an imaging control device 10, an imaging device 20, and a light emitting device 30. The imaging control device 10 is provided for controlling the imaging device 20 and the light emitting device 30, and includes an evaluation unit 13, a light reception adjustment unit 14, and a light emission adjustment unit 15. The evaluation unit 13 evaluates respective brightnesses of the first image data and the second image data that are output from the imaging device 20. The light reception adjustment unit 14 adjusts any of an exposure time, a diaphragm value, and a gain that are to be used when the imaging device 20 captures an image, based on a brightness evaluation result. The light emission adjustment unit 15 causes the light emitting device 30 to emit light of either wavelength band of the first wavelength band and the second wavelength band, and adjusts a light emission intensity of the light, based on an evaluation result.
