发明名称 Imaging device and imaging apparatus generating image information for each of plural pixels from received light
摘要 An imaging apparatus includes an imaging device which includes a plurality of pixels and is operable to generate image information for each pixel from received light. Each of the plurality of pixels includes one of first to fourth color filters. Each of the first to the fourth color filters has different spectral characteristics. The fourth color filter has the highest light transmittance among the color filters. The first to the fourth color filters are arranged in a specific array. The specific array has first to third centroids which make a Bayer array.

主权项 1. An imaging apparatus comprising an imaging device which includes a plurality of pixels and is operable to generate image information for each pixel from received light, wherein each of the plurality of pixels includes one of first to fourth color filters, each of the first to the fourth color filters has different spectral characteristics, the fourth color filter has the highest light transmittance among the color filters, the first to the fourth color filters are arranged in a specific array, the specific array for the first to third color filters except for the fourth filter is not a Bayer array, the specific array has first to third centroids which make a Bayer array, the first centroid is a centroid of a plurality of pixels which are used in a first pixel addition process performed on pixel information generated based on lights transmitted through the first color filters, the second centroid is a centroid of a plurality of pixels which are used in a second pixel addition process performed on the pixel information generated based on lights transmitted through the second color filters, and the third centroid is a centroid of a plurality of pixels which are used in a third pixel addition process performed on the pixel information generated based on lights transmitted through the third color filters, and pixel information regarding a color corresponding to the first color filters is generated by the first pixel addition process, pixel information regarding a color corresponding to the second color filters is generated by the second pixel addition process, and pixel information regarding a color corresponding to the third color filters is generated by the third pixel addition process.
