Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus that generates second image data by interpolating color components of pixels in first image data, which has been obtained by photo-electric conversion and includes first component pixel signals, second component pixel signals, and third component pixel signals, a number of the third component pixel signals being greater than a number of the first component pixel signals and also being greater than a number of the second component pixel signals, comprising: a first interpolation unit that interpolates first components in pixels of third components and second components in the first image data, a second interpolation unit that interpolates second components in pixels of first components and third components in the first image data, a magnification chromatic aberration correction unit that carries out correction of chromatic differences of magnification in the first image data, which has undergone first component interpolation by the first interpolation unit and second component interpolation by the second interpolation unit, and a third interpolation unit that interpolates third components in pixels that do not include third components in the first image data, which has undergone correction of chromatic differences of magnification by the magnification chromatic aberration correction unit.
