Abstract

Correction processing load is reduced even when employing a color filter with a basic array pattern that is large in size. An imaging apparatus divides image data output from an image pickup device into line image data running along a predetermined direction for each line, and when a basic array pattern configuring a color filter has been divided into pattern lines running along the predetermined direction, line correction data that corresponds to the divided line image data is read, the line correction data being configured by plural correction data corresponding to each filter on the pattern line. The read line correction data is used to correct the line image data for each pattern line of the basic array pattern.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
an image pickup device comprising a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements arrayed in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction;
a color filter that is provided above a plurality of pixels configured by the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements, the color filter having a basic array pattern disposed with a first filter corresponding to a first color that contributes most to obtaining a brightness sign…
