Abstract
The image conversion section calculates luminance values and color difference values based on pixel values of the captured image that respectively correspond to a plurality of colors, and outputs a luminance image formed by the calculated luminance values and a color difference image formed by the calculated color difference values. The estimation calculation section calculates an estimated luminance value of each pixel of a high-resolution image based on the luminance image, and calculates an estimated color difference value of each pixel of the high-resolution image based on the color difference image. The pixel value conversion section converts the estimated luminance value and the estimated color difference value into RGB pixel values of each pixel of the high-resolution image.
