Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus for a solid-state imaging apparatus comprising a plurality of pixels each including a photoelectric conversion element arranged two dimensionally in a matrix and a color filter of plural colors is arranged over a surface of the pixel, such that the image processing apparatus corrects a cross talk between adjacent pixels of different colors, wherein the image processing apparatus comprises: a memory unit for storing a correction parameter for reduction a cross talk signal leaked to an object pixel from an adjacent pixel, the correction parameter corresponding to a position of the object pixel; and a correcting unit for subtracting, based on the correction parameter stored in the memory unit, the cross talk signal from a pixel signal of the solid-state imaging apparatus correspondingly to a position of the pixel, wherein a number of the object pixel is at least two, and the at least two object pixels have different addresses in a horizontal direction, and different addresses in a vertical direction, and wherein, in moving image photographing mode, the correction parameter is derived from pixels in a column adjacent to the object pixel and pixels in a row adjacent to the object pixel, while, in a mode different from the moving image photographing mode, the correction parameter is derived from pixels adjacent to the object pixel in a column direction, pixels adjacent to the object pixel in a row direction, and pixels adjacent to the object pixel in an oblique direction.
