Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an image processing device and a method thereof, an imaging element, and an imaging device in which a signal value deviation generated through encoding and decoding of an amplified signal group can be restrained. Adaptive processing is executed on an image in which signal amplification has been executed, and the resultant image is encoded. For example, an offset value that is randomly set within a value range that depends on a gain value of the signal amplification executed on the image is added to each pixel value of the image, and then, the resultant image is encoded. The present disclosure is applicable to an image processing device, an image encoding device, an image decoding device, an imaging element, or an imaging device, for example.
