    摘要: Disclosed is an image processing method of expanding the dynamic range by determining a saturated or noise region in an image signal and replacing the image signal with a proper image signal. A threshold value (step S4) is set in units of colors on the basis of a standard image signal for each color, which is obtained upon sensing an image in a standard exposure, and a non-standard image signal for each color, which is obtained upon sensing the image in a non-standard exposure. A saturated or noise region is determined by applying the threshold value set in units of colors to the standard image signal. A region determined as a saturated or noise region is replaced with the non-standard image signal.

Wide-band color signals R, G, B generated from the signals obtained from the CCD are subjected to a filtering process in the frame recursive filters 18, 19, 20 and the image retained in the filters 18, 19, 20 as a result of the filtering process is released as a still image under the control by the interface circuit 21. Thus the still and moving images can be generated respectively according to the required characteristics, without color blotting or color aberration and without deterioration in the color reproducibility and in the S/N ratio.

    摘要: A color camera apparatus comprises an image pickup element having a stripe/mosaic type color filter and photoelectrically converting an arriving optical image so as to obtain at least a signal including a brightness component and a color component multiplexed with each other. And, the apparatus comprises an A/D converter for digitizing above multiplexed signal, and a brightness signal processing circuit which separates the brightness component from the multiplexed signal and carries out an aperture correction by means of a delay element having a delay amount corresponding to two horizontal scanning period. And further, the apparatus comprises a color signal processing circuit which separates the color component from the multiplexed signal so as to obtain two line-sequential color difference components through a predetermined arithmetic procedure. And, the color signal processing circuit not only carries out a circular-type noise removal processing operation by means of the delay element having the delay amount corresponding to two horizontal scanning periods, but carries out a rearrangement of said line-sequential color difference components by use of the same delay line.

    摘要: A solid-state imaging element (31) and solid-state imaging elements (30, 32) are arranged spatially so as to be horizontally shifted half a pixel pitch from one another so that a light-sensitive portion of each pixel of the solid-state imaging elements (30, 32) may correspond to a light-insensitive portion of each pixel of the solid-state imaging element (31). A high-frequency component synthesizer circuit (49) produces the high-frequency components of a luminance signal on the basis of the signal E G obtained by performing nonlinear process on the output of the solid-state imaging element (31) and the signal E R + E B obtained by performing nonlinear process on the outputs of the solid-state imaging elements (30, 32) and mixing the resulting signals. At this time, based on the result of comparing the output signal of the solid-state imaging element (31) with the respective output signals of the solid-state imaging elements (30, 32), the mixing ratio of signal E R to E B is controlled.
