Abstract
An image correction section in an image processing section performs a resolution-enhancing process for an input R signal from a RED photodiode arrayR, an input G signal from a GREEN photodiode arrayGand an input B signal from a BLUE photodiode arrayB, using an input K signal from a BLACK photodiode arrayK. The image correction section outputs four signals: an Rcsignal, a Gcsignal and a Bcsignal, which are subjected to the resolution-enhancing process, and the K signal that is used for the resolution-enhancing process.
