Patent ID: 8730370

Claim:
A solid-state imaging device comprising: an image sensor configured to capture an image; a correction-parameter storing unit configured to store therein a correction parameter with which a position of a captured image captured by the image sensor is corrected for each pixel; an image-position correcting circuit configured to correct the position of the captured image for each pixel based on the correction parameter; and a video-signal interface circuit configured to output the captured image, wherein, before the correction parameter is stored in the correction-parameter storing unit, the captured image passes the image-position correcting circuit and is output via the video-signal interface circuit, and then the correction parameter is calculated based on the captured image outputted from the video-signal interface circuit, and wherein, after the correction parameter is stored in the correction parameter storing unit, the coordinates of the pixels of the captured image are transformed in accordance with the correction parameter stored in the correction parameter storing unit and the corrected captured image is output via the video-signal interface circuit.
