Abstract
The present technology relates to an image sensor, an image processing apparatus and method, and a program that enable a higher quality image to be obtained. An image processing apparatus includes: an extraction unit configured to, from a captured image having a first pixel having a first color component of visible light and an infrared component and a second pixel only having a second color component of visible light that is influenced by a color temperature more significantly than the first color component and less influences a luminance component than the first color component, extract the first pixel to generate an extracted infrared image; an infrared image generation unit configured to perform interpolation processing on the extracted infrared image to generate an infrared image; and a color image generation unit configured to generate a color image on a basis of a visible light low frequency image having a visible light component obtained from the captured image, and the infrared image. The present technology can be applied to an image processing apparatus.
