Patent ID: 8314863

Claim:
An image processing device comprising: a blurring correction processing unit configured to perform blurring correction processing on output signals of an imaging device having an RGBW array which includes RGB pixels and white (W) pixels, and generate blurring-corrected signals corresponding to each pixel; a data conversion unit configured to convert said RGBW array into an RGB array; wherein said data conversion unit executes processing of generating blurring-corrected RGB signals (Rd, Gd, Bd) which are blurring-corrected signals corresponding to RGB that have been estimated from blurring-corrected signals generated by said blurring correction processing unit, and applying said blurring-corrected RGB signals (Rd, Gd, Bd) to determine RGB signals values configuring an RGB array; an edge detecting unit configured to analyze the output signals from the imaging device, and generating edge information including edge intensity information corresponding to each pixel; wherein said data conversion unit is further configured to calculate blurring-uncorrected RGB signals (Rl, Gl, Bl) which are signals to which blurring correction processing is not applied, and perform determination processing of RGB signals values making up an RGB array or color image by blending processing of said blurring-corrected, RGB signals and said blurring-uncorrected RGB signals; and wherein determination processing of RGB signal values is performed by executing blending processing in which at pixel positions where determination is made that edge intensity is great from said edge information, the blend ratio of blurring-corrected RGB signals is increased, and at pixel positions where determination is made chat edge intensity is small, the blend ratio of blurring-uncorrected RGB signals is increased.
