Imaging device, method for controlling imaging device, and storage medium storing a control program where a basic color filter array pattern is repeated to reduce false color generation when image is thinned

Abstract

In the present invention, effective thinned reading is performed when using an imaging device provided with a color filter other than a Bayer array. This imaging device () is provided with: an imaging element () containing a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements arrayed in a first and second direction; a color filter, wherein a basic array pattern resulting from a first and second filter being disposed in a predetermined pattern of N×M pixels and the first and second filter being disposed in a first and second direction is disposed repeatedly, and the first filter is disposed in a first-third direction in the color filter; a line image data generation means that, from the imaging element (), reads the pixel signals of a plurality of pixels at a set cycle, and from the read pixel signals, generates line image data comprising pixel signals of pixels arrayed along the second direction and arrayed in an (N+k) line cycle in the first direction among the plurality of pixels; and an image data generation means that generates image data on the basis of the line image data.
