Patent ID: 7728887

Claim:
An image processing device in which an imaging device includes pixels arranged in horizontal and vertical directions, and color filters of red (R), green (G), and Blue (B) colors each allocated to said pixels, said image processing device converting an image signal outputted from said imaging device into image data of a digital signal and then subjecting each of said pixels to color correction processing based on said image data, said image processing device comprising: a color interpolation device for interpolating colors by calculating horizontal and vertical components of said R, G, and B colors of each of said pixels based on pixel data of each of said pixels and their peripheral pixels; and a linear matrix circuit for subjecting each of said pixels to said color correction processing after performing a linear matrix operation based on said horizontal and vertical components of said R, G, and B colors, and different color correction coefficients set for each of said horizontal and vertical components, wherein said imaging device transfers signal charge generated by each of said pixels in said vertical and horizontal directions to output said image signal, and said color correction coefficients are set based on transfer efficiency of said imaging device.
