Abstract
A camera signal processing apparatus comprises an interpolated pixel data generating device for interpolating, at least on two directions, pixel data based on an imaging signal from a solid-state image sensor; a correlation detecting device for detecting a correlation value indicative of a degree of correlation in each of the at least two directions of the interpolated pixel data; a normalizing device for normalizing the correlation value of each of the at least two directions to generate a normalized value indicative of a relative value of the correlation value; a correcting device for adding a predetermined correction value to the normalized value; a weighting device for weighting the interpolated pixel data in each of the at least two directions by the normalized value and adding together the weighted interpolated pixel data; and an image generating device for generating an image based on the weighted interpolated pixel data weighted.
