Abstract
The present technology relates to a signal processing device, a signal processing method, a solid-state image sensor, an imaging device, an electronic device, and a program capable of generating an interpolated pixel such that occurrence of jaggies may be inhibited without blurring an image with a small calculation amount. Two candidate lines are set in each of a horizontal direction and a vertical direction in positional relationship symmetrical about a current pixel. The candidate lines are narrowed to two lines in the horizontal direction or in the vertical direction according to a pattern to which the current pixel belongs. Furthermore, searched pixels on the candidate line are narrowed according to the pattern. A weight value is calculated on the basis of similarity between a current block and a block in the same phase at the same distance from the block by block matching by a block to which the current pixel belongs. A pixel value of the interpolated pixel is generated by weighted addition of a pixel value on the candidate line and the weight value. The present technology may be applied to an imaging device.
