Abstract
A spectral image photographing section photographs the image of an object to be photographed as spectrum information in units of pixels so as to mutually record and reproduce a faithful image between two points. A photographing light spectrum detecting section detects the spectrum distribution of illumination light at a photographing point. A reproduction environment light spectrum detecting section detects the spectrum distribution of illumination light at a reproduction point. A spectral reflectance distribution calculating section eliminates the influence of the spectrum distribution of illumination light from the spectrum information photographed by the spectral image photographing section, and calculates the spectral reflectance distribution of the object. A spectrum converting section calculates, on the basis of the reproduction environment light spectrum detected by the reproduction environment light spectrum detecting section and the spectral reflection distribution calculated by the spectral reflectance distribution calculating section, a spectrum distribution obtained when the image of the object is photographed under illumination light substantially identical to that at …
