Abstract
An image processing apparatus including a noise reducing portion for applying noise reduction to RGB Bayer array image data for each of RGB channels with a noise reduction amount H, and calculating RGBBayer array image data, and also applying the noise reduction to at least the G channel with a noise reduction amount L (L<H), and calculating image data G; a color difference calculating portion for calculating color difference data (R−G) at a position of Rand color difference data (B−G) at a position of B, based on the RGBBayer array image data; and a band-limited interpolating portion and an RGB calculating portion for calculating R, G and B image data at respective pixel positions, based on the color difference data (R−G) and (B−G), and the image data G.
