Abstract
A CCD is driven by a drive circuit, whereby an independent readout drive of all pixels is carried out. Data of 4 lines are input in parallel to a two-dimensional register array by 4 scanning line delay devices. Interpolation is carried out for every color signal of green, magenta, cyan and yellow by an interpolation processing circuit according to data corresponding to pixels of 4 rows and 6 columns. A color difference signal generation circuit carries out a color separation process on the basis of the color signal subjected to an interpolation process.
