Image processing apparatus, imaging apparatus, image processing method, and program

Abstract

An apparatus and a method that perform a false color correction according to image characteristics of a color image in units of image regions are provided. Included therein is an image processor that receives inputs of a color image and a white (W) image photographed by a W array imaging element whose all pixels are placed in a white (W) pixel array and executes an image process that reduces false colors included in the color image. Together with a frequency-corresponding parameter calculation unit that receives an input of the white (W) image and calculates a frequency-corresponding parameter in units of image regions, and a positional deviation-corresponding parameter calculation unit that receives inputs of the white (W) image and the color image and calculates a positional deviation-corresponding parameter of the two input images in units of image regions, the image processor executes a blending process and calculates a corrected pixel value.
