IMAGING SYSTEM AND ELECTRONIC ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM

Abstract

According to an aspect of the present invention, provided is an electronic endoscope system including a CMOS image sensor that images an object using a rolling shutter method and a light source device that emits a flash to perform strobe imaging of the object. In the system, the light source device emits a flash such that a period from a flash end time of a certain flash to a flash start time of a next flash is longer than a flash prohibition period during which the emission of the flash is prohibited for at least one frame period. The electronic endoscope system processes a captured image for each frame obtained by the CMOS image sensor on the basis of the emission timing of the flash from the light source device to generate a display image.
