Abstract

Provided is an image processing device including a data conversion processing unit that receives an input of an RGBW array image and generates an RGB array image as an output image. The data conversion processing unit includes a pixel interpolation unit that calculates interpolated pixel values corresponding to an array of the RGB array image by performing a pixel interpolation process on the RGBW array image, a purple fringe detection unit that detects whether each pixel is a purple fringe pixel by analyzing the RGBW array image, a corrected value calculation unit that calculates corrected pixel values by correcting pixel values of the purple fringe pixels, and a blend processing unit that calculates constituent pixel values RGB of the output image by performing a blend process of blending the interpolated pixel values calculated by the pixel interpolation unit with the corrected pixel values calculated by the corrected value calculation unit.
