Patent ID: 8411180

Claim:
A solid-state imaging device comprising: a pixel section formed by a plurality of pixels having a photoelectric conversion function arranged in the form of a matrix; a pixel driving section driving the operation of the pixels to allow a readout to be performed according to a readout mode; a readout circuit reading out signals from the pixels and outputting the signals as image data in a raw data format; and a logic section performing scaling and phase correction in preparation for a resolution conversion process on a signal output from the readout circuit, wherein the logic section includes a resize portion performing a scaling process on the signal output from the readout circuit according to a scaling factor N (N is a value greater than 0) and a correction portion obtaining a distance Scaled_P between pixels of the same color which have been scaled from the scaling factor N, a readout factor B, and a distance P between adjoining pixels of different colors, obtaining the amount of correction to be made on a pixel to be corrected from the distance Scaled_P between pixels of the same color and the distance P between adjoining pixels of different colors, and performing phase correction according to the amount of correction.
