<p>This imaging device, which has a means for detecting a specific hue in each pixel of per-pixel-signal red, green, and blue primary-color video signals generated by color-separation optics and three or more imaging elements and independently correcting said specific hue in each pixel in order to prevent the contours of a light source and illuminated objects from losing contrast and becoming difficult to see due to blue oversaturation when using high-luminance blue illumination such as LEDs, also has a means for detecting the levels of luminance signals for pixels in a given hue region within the aforementioned specific hue and a means for compressing the positive directions of color-correction signals into blue video signals in accordance with the per-pixel-signal luminance signals. This imaging device compresses the positive directions of color-correction signals into blue video signals, in accordance with high-luminance luminance signals, on a per-pixel-signal basis.</p> |
