Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An imaging device 100 is equipped with an image acquisition unit 51 , a first calculation unit 52 and a correction information calculation unit 53 . The image acquisition unit 51 acquires image data including a luminance component and color components, via an optical system. The first calculation unit 52 detects shading of the luminance component included in the image data, and detects shading of the color difference components. The correction information calculation unit 53 calculates luminance shading correction coefficients and color difference shading correction coefficients. The correction information calculation unit 53 then converts the calculated color difference shading correction coefficients so as to have predetermined ratios with respect to the calculated luminance shading correction coefficients. A correction processing unit 62 corrects plural sets of image data on the basis of the converted color difference shading correction coefficients, and then performs pixel addition of the images.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An image processing device comprising: an image data acquisition unit that acquires, via an optical system, image data including a luminance component and a color difference component; a focusing distance acquisition unit that acquires a focusing distance of the optical system; a shading detection unit that detects shading of the luminance component included in the image data and detects shading of the color difference component included in the image dat…
