Abstract
An object is to provide an image processing circuit and an image processing method which can use various technologies for a bayer array CCD even when an RGB independent array CCD is used, and can accommodate for the bayer array CCD. A first matrix acquiring circuitG acquires an R signal for each basic matrix, and a first averaging circuitG outputs an average value AveCHof the R signal. Similarly, a second matrix acquiring circuitG acquires a G signal, and a second averaging circuitG outputs an average value AveCHof the G signal. Further, similarly, a third matrix acquiring circuitG acquires a B signal, and a third averaging circuitG outputs an average value AveCHof the B signal. A data array conversion circuitG converts the average values AveCHthrough AveCHinto a conversion matrix of two pixels×two pixels in bayer array. The conversion matrix is detected by a detection circuitfor bayer array.
