    摘要: Color signals that have passed through a multilayer film filter and been photoelectrically converted are inputted into an image processing LSI. A color signal processing section of the image processing LSI corrects the color signals on a color matrix. The color matrix is divided into a plurality of regions corresponding to the color signals, and the correction is made for each of the regions.

    摘要: A solid-state image sensor includes photoelectric converters positioned either in a complementary color filter array or in the Bayer color filter array. The solid-state image sensor either adds together electric charges obtained by 9 photoelectric converters that relate to one color in each portion of six rows and six columns of the photoelectric converters so as to output a resulting electric charge as one pixel, or outputs the electric charges obtained by 9 photoelectric converters that relate to one color as 9 pixels without added together. By adding together the electric charges, the resolution of an image becomes one ninth of the case where the electric charges are not added together, and the sensitivity becomes 9 times higher than the same. The control unit not shown in the drawing determines a time length for photoelectric conversion assuming that the electric charges are not added together. If the determined time length is longer than a predetermined threshold, the actual time length for photoelectric conversion is reduced to {fraction (1/9)} of the determined time length, and an image is generated based on the resulting electric charges that are outputted after the electric charges stored in the photoelectric converters are added together.

    摘要: A solid-state imaging element includes photoelectric conversion elements having a complementary or Bayer color filter array. The solid-state imaging element adds together electric charges stored in nine photoelectric conversion elements having color filters of one of multiple colors in each portion of six rows and six columns, to obtain a resulting electric charge, and outputs the resulting electric charge as one pixel. A portion for one of the colors deviates from a portion for each of the other colors by three rows and/or three columns. This pixel-addition operation produces an effect of a spatial low pass filter, thereby reducing signal components exceeding a Nyquist frequency corresponding to a target resolution. Consequently, aliasing noise in an image with the target resolution is reduced, and therefore higher image quality can be achieved, when compared with a conventional resolution reduction technique.

    摘要: A signal processing circuit generates an image signal by performing signal processing to an imaging signal obtained through a picked up optical system that includes a lens, a diaphragm, an image sensor, and a lens barrel. A main light source detector detects a main light source contained in a picked up image of the image signal. An estimated ghost generator generates an estimated ghost based on layout information of the main light source and the imaging optical system, and structural information of the lens barrel. A matching device extracts an estimated ghost image by searching the estimated ghost in the picked up image through pattern matching. A ghost subtractor subtracts the estimated ghost image from the picked up image.
