Abstract
A low power color image capturing system having a power source, the system comprising: a narrow bandwidth illuminator adapted to provide illumination having a peak intensity defining a narrow bandwidth; an image capturing device adapted to capture a raw image from an object illuminated by the narrow bandwidth illuminator; and a processor adapted to control the system and having an algorithm operatable upon the raw image to provide a modified image; wherein the modified image has enhanced color intensities over substantially all visible wavelengths.
