Patent ID: 8760531

Claim:
An image processing device comprising: a first interpolation unit that performs, from image information obtained by a 1-CCD color imaging device including a Bayer array, interpolation using pixel information of pixels having a color same as a color of a pixel of attention and present around the pixel of attention; a second interpolation unit that interpolates, from the image information, color information lost in the pixel of attention using color information of the pixels around the pixel of attention; a combining unit that combines an output of the first interpolation unit and an output of the second interpolation unit; a first filter that includes a first filter frequency characteristic having a pass peak point in a high-frequency band and detects, from the image information, a first image of a first region where a false color tends to occur in the interpolation by the second interpolation unit; a second filter that includes a second filter frequency characteristic having a non-pass point in the high-frequency band and having a pass band further on a low frequency side than the high-frequency band and detects, from the image information, a second image of a second region where zipper noise tends to occur because of excessive interpolation by the second interpolation unit; and a combination-ratio generating unit that generates, on the basis of the first image and the second image, a value for determining a combination ratio of the output of the first interpolation unit and the output of the second interpolation unit in the combining unit.
