Patent ID: 8804014

Claim:
An imaging device, comprising: an imaging sensor having a plurality of filters with different spectral characteristics are disposed in a predetermined pattern and having a plurality of pixels which are two-dimensionally arranged on a light-receiving surface to correspond to the predetermined pattern; a computing section obtaining a pixel value of an objective pixel by using pixel values output from a plurality of neighboring pixels arranged around the objective pixel selected from the plurality of pixels and disposed with a filter having a same spectral characteristics as the objective pixel; and a control section sequentially selecting the objective pixel from the pixels which output the pixel values from the imaging sensor and making the computing section obtain a pixel value of each objective pixel being selected, wherein the computing section does not use the pixel value output from the objective pixel when obtaining the pixel value of the objective pixel itself which is selected by the control section, and uses the pixel value output from the objective pixel when the objective pixel is one of the neighboring pixels and one other pixel is selected as the objective pixel by the control section.
