Abstract

There are formed three kinds of virtual spectrum aperture images in which a weight is added to each spectrum channel image of multiple spectrum data, three kinds of characteristic virtual spectrum aperture images are allocated to RGB (red, green, blue) and a color synthesized image is displayed. A line spectrum image of a designated line of the displayed color synthesized image is displayed, and a spectrum of a designated point is further displayed. A user is able to select whether the spectrum that is once displayed should be left or deleted. When the displayed spectrum should be left, such displayed spectrum is superimposed upon a spectrum of the next selected point. Also, spectrums of points in the designated range are sequentially displayed in a cinema fashion.
