Abstract
An imaging device includes an imaging element, a weight calculating section, and an interpolation processing section. The imaging element includes normal pixels and functional pixels, the functional pixels being arranged at nonuniform intervals in a first direction. The weight calculating section calculates a first weight and a second weight, the second weight being smaller than the first weight. The interpolation processing section performs pixel interpolation to interpolate the pixel value of each of the functional pixels based on the pixel values obtained by the peripheral normal pixels where the first weight and the second weight are applied to a pixel value obtained by each of the normal pixels arranged in the first direction and a direction different from the first direction, respectively.
