Patent ID: 8531543

Claim:
A camera system comprising: a camera section including a subband dividing section configured to resolve image data of a color whose pixel positions are alternately shifted from each other, the image data being included in image data output from an image pickup element of a pixel arrangement in which said pixel positions of at least one color of three primary colors are alternately shifted from each other in one of a horizontal direction and a vertical direction, into subband images by performing subband division of the image data of the color whose said pixel positions are alternately shifted from each other with pixels of two upper and lower lines adjacent to each other or pixels of two left and right columns adjacent to each other as a unit, and a first transmission interface section configured to convert said subband images into a predetermined image signal, and output said image signal via a transmission line; and a camera control section including a second transmission interface section configured to convert said image signal input via said transmission line into said subband images, and an image decompressing section configured to decompress said subband images into the image data of the color whose said pixel positions are alternately shifted from each other with pixels of two upper and lower lines adjacent to each other or pixels of two left and right columns adjacent to each other as a unit, and synthesize said subband images into said image data output from said image pickup element.
