Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a storage section configured to store a correction matrix correcting crosstalk generated by a light or electron leak from an adjacent pixel existing among a plurality of pixels for receiving light in an imaging device; a processing section configured to carry out processing to apply said correction matrix stored in said storage section to an image signal generated by said imaging device for each of said pixels; an aperture-ratio acquisition section; and a correction-matrix generation section, wherein said storage section stores a basic matrix found for an incidence angle of light incident to the light receiving surface of said imaging device; said aperture-ratio acquisition section acquires the aperture ratio of a lens for converging incident light on said light receiving surface of said imaging device; said correction-matrix generation section reads out said basic matrix, which has been stored in said storage section for said incidence angle according to said aperture ratio acquired by said aperture-ratio acquisition section, from said storage section and generates said correction matrix from said basic matrix read out from said storage section according to the aperture ratio; and said processing section carries out said processing by making use of said correction matrix generated by said correction-matrix generation section.
