摘要： When pixels are simply skipped while keeping both an order of pixel information and a spatial positional relation the same as those in all-pixel readout, since a distance between pixels to be read out increases, the Nyquist frequency decreases and aliasing noise increases. A 5×5 pixel block is set as a unit pixel block and pieces of pixel information in first, third, and fifth columns of first, third, and fifth rows of a pixel arrangement are added and outputted as an output in an ath row and an ath column of the unit pixel block. Then, pieces of pixel information in sixth, eighth, and tenth columns of the first, the third, and the fifth rows of the pixel arrangement are added and outputted as an output in the ath row and a bth column of the unit pixel block. Subsequently, pieces of pixel information are added and outputted up to a last column or a column near the last column. Thereafter, pieces of pixel information in the first, the third, and the fifth columns of the sixth, the eighth, and the tenth rows of the pixel arrangement are added and outputted as an output in a bth row and the ath column of the unit pixel block. Subsequently, all arbitrary pixels are read out while repeating the same operation and skipping and adding pieces of pixel information.

摘要： When pixel signals are separately read from a plurality of horizontal signal lines to achieve high-speed processing, color difference in image signals and stripes are eliminated. In the operation of reading the pixel signals from the (2n)th row, the pixel signals from R pixels on odd columns are output to an output system A through a horizontal signal line (60A). On the other hand, the pixel signals from Gr pixels on even columns are output to an output system B through a horizontal signal line (60B). In the operation of reading the pixel signals from the (2n+1)th row, the pixel signals from Gb pixels on the odd columns are output to the output system B through the horizontal signal line (60B) by the switching operation in a switching circuit (50). Similarly, the pixel signals from B pixels on the even columns are output to the output system A through the horizontal signal line (60A) by the switching operation in the switching circuit (50).

摘要： An image-processing apparatus for processing images, whereby the image-processing apparatus includes an image capture unit, a filter, and an extraction unit. The image capture unit acquires image signals composed of multiple color components of a 2×2 color-coding array. The filter then calculates an average pixel value associated with any (2n−1) pixels acquired by the image capture unit, whereby each of the filtered (2n−1) pixels include a target pixel and adjacent pixels having the same color component as that of the target pixel, and the calculated average is designated as the average of the target pixel and the adjacent pixels. At the extraction unit the pixel having the average calculated by the filter as the pixel value is extracted at an extraction rate of 1/(2n−1), where n is a positive integer value.

摘要： The present invention relates to apparatuses and methods for image processing, recording media, and programs in which extraction processing utilizing all pixels can be conducted. When a horizontal-component low-pass filter performs (1, 0, 1, 0, 1)/3 filtering with one of the green pixels in the first line as a target pixel, green pixels are multiplied by 1, red pixels are multiplied by 0, and the sum of the pixel values is divided by 3. As a result, a simple average of the target pixel and the adjacent green pixels is calculated. When one of the red pixels in the first line is defined as a target pixel, a simple average of the target pixel and the adjacent red pixels is calculated in the same manner. Similarly, green and blue pixels in the second line are filtered. Every third pixel of the horizontal components is then extracted in a 1/3 horizontal-extraction unit to generate an extracted-pixel group composed of pixels each having the simple-average value of every third pixel as a target pixel and the adjacent pixels of the same color. The present invention is applicable to digital cameras.

摘要： For each pixel read from an imaging device, a horizontal counter value and a vertical counter value corresponding to the pixel are supplied from a signal generator to a distance computation section via an optical-axis-center coordinate setting section and an up-and-down and right-and-left weighting section. In the distance computation section, the distance to the optical-axis center is computed, and correction coefficients for the zoom wide end and for the zoom tele end, which correspond to the distance, are obtained by look-up tables. The two obtained correction coefficients are blended at a mixture ratio determined by a blend ratio setting section. The blended shading correction coefficients are gain adjusted by a gain adjustment section, after which they are supplied to a correction section. As a result, a correction corresponding to the distance to the optical-axis-center position is performed on the signal of each pixel supplied from an imaging section.
