Abstract
An image processing device that processes an image signal in which at least one of a predetermined plural number of color signals intended to constitute the image signal in each pixel is missing in accordance with a pixel position comprises: a component separation unit that separates the color signal into a plurality of components including a first component U, which is a skeleton component, and a second component V obtained from the residual difference between the color signal and the first component; a first interpolation unit that interpolates the first component U such that the first component U in a pixel position in which the color signal is missing is interpolated; and a second interpolation unit that interpolates the second component V such that the second component V in a pixel position in which the color signal is missing is interpolated.
