摘要： Accurately suppress chromatic aberration arising in a subject image is described. An image signal, which is obtained by a lens and a CCD and pertains to a subject image, is subjected to white balance adjustment performed by a white balance adjustment circuit. The signal is supplied to a color-blurring detection circuit before undergoing gamma correction. The color-blurring detection circuit has a low slice circuit, a high-pass filter, and a high clip circuit; detects an edge portion of a highlight of a G signal constituting the image signal; and supplies the detected edge portion as a color-blurring detection signal to a color-blurring suppressor circuit disposed subsequent to a γ correction circuit. The color-blurring suppressor circuit corrects color-difference signals CB, CR, which have been subjected to gamma correction, by use of the color-blurring detection signal, thereby suppressing the color-blurring having arisen in the edge of a highlight of the image.

摘要： To determine a more appropriate WB gain. A first image data, which is obtained by way of photographing essentially the same subject as that of a main image intended by a user without firing a strobe light for preliminary illumination, and a second image data, which is obtained by way of photographing the same while firing the strobe light for preliminary illumination, are captured. Subsequently, a typical value of each of blocks constituting the first and second image data and the type of a light source of the same are acquired as block information. The thus-acquired pieces of block information about the first and second image data are compared with each other, to thus acquire the tendency of a color change in subject before and after preliminary illumination. An environment light source is estimated on the basis of the obtained tendency of a color change.

摘要： To improve sensitivity by adding pixels, and improve precision of pixel interpolation in an imaging device. An imaging device is provided in which pixels are added along a horizontal direction or a vertical direction to improve sensitivity of an imaging element. An R pixel signal, a G pixel signal, and a B pixel signal in which pixels are added, for example, along the vertical direction are output from a CCD (12). A CFA interpolation unit (24) interpolates the G pixel signal using an adjacent pixel along the horizontal direction. The CFA interpolation unit (24) also interpolates the R pixel signal and the B pixel signal along the horizontal direction using an adjacent pixel along the horizontal direction and interpolates along the vertical direction using correlation of the interpolated G pixel.

摘要： An image processing apparatus is provided which performs image restoration as necessary while a computing processing burden based on an image restoration algorithm is reduced. RAW data of a blurred image is input to an RGB interpolation section. The RGB interpolation section generates an R component image, a G component image, and a B component image based on the RAW data. The G component image is input to an image restoration processing section and the R and B component images are input to an RGB to YCC section. The image restoration processing section performs an image restoration process based on a predetermined image restoration algorithm by using a PSF image representing a predetermined point spread function. The RGB to YCC section generates a brightness component image Y and color difference component images CR and CB based on the G component image having been subjected to the image restoration process and the R and B component images which was not subjected to any image restoration process.
