Patent ID: 7750946

Claim:
A signal processing apparatus configured to carry out signal processing on an input image signal and to output the result of the signal processing, the apparatus comprising: first correction processing means for carrying out correction processing dependent on pixels of an image-pickup device on the input image signal, the image-pickup device being the output source of the image signal; second correction processing means for carrying out correction processing independent from pixels of the image-pickup device on a supplied image signal; synchronization processing means for generating RGB signals on the basis of a supplied image signal, the RGB signals representing a captured image and having matching spatial phases; conversion means for carrying out at least processing for generating a luminance signal and a color signal on the basis of a supplied image signal; and first resolution conversion means for reducing resolution of a captured image, wherein the first correction processing means, the second correction processing means, the synchronization processing means, the conversion means, and the first resolution conversion means are all provided downstream of the position of an analog-to-digital converter, and the first resolution conversion means is provided downstream of the position of the first correction processing means and upstream of the position of the conversion means.
