Abstract
A disclosed imaging device includes an imaging element that includes a plurality of pixels including a plurality of first pixels each of which outputs a signal including color information and a plurality of second pixels each of which has higher sensitivity than the first pixels, and a signal processing unit that processes a signal output from the imaging element. The signal processing unit includes a luminance signal processing unit that generates luminance values of the first pixels based on signals output from the second pixels and a false color determination unit that determines a presence or absence of false color based on a result of comparison between the luminance values of the first pixels generated by the luminance signal processing unit and a predetermined threshold value.
