Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a class tap selection unit that selects pixel values related to pixels corresponding to a plurality of color components as a class tap, from a first image formed by image signals which are output from a single-plate type pixel portion, a class sorting unit that sorts out target pixels of second images as any one of a plurality of classes on the basis of a feature amount of the class tap, a prediction tap selection unit that selects pixel values related to pixels corresponding to a first color component of the plurality of color components as a prediction tap from the first image, and a product-sum operation unit that uses the pixel values of the first color component of the prediction tap as variables, and operates pixel values of the second images through a product-sum operation using the read coefficient.
