Abstract
A first group of interpolation calculators performing interpolation by mean preserving interpolation calculation, and a second group of interpolation calculators performing interpolation by interpolation other than the mean preserving interpolation calculation are provided. Each of the interpolation calculators performs interpolation calculation for the missing pixel to calculate an interpolation candidate value (M(h)), and calculates test interpolation values (M(t)) treating pixels in a vicinity of the missing pixel as test pixels. A decider () selects one of the plurality of interpolation calculators based on results of the test interpolation. An outputter () selects the interpolation candidate value outputted from the interpolation calculator selected by the decider (), among the plurality of interpolation candidate values (M(h)), and outputs the selected interpolation candidate value. Interpolation can be performed such that the interpolated pixel does not look unnatural, and yet the storage capacity and the data processing amount that are required are relatively small.
