IMAGING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging apparatus which processes pixel outputs from an imaging device having a focus detection pixel and is capable of suppressing reduction of picture quality due to the focus detection pixel, and to provide an image processing method and an image processing program for the imaging apparatus.SOLUTION: An interpolation determination processing part 314 includes: a high frequency pattern detection part for detecting a degree that a subject image pattern received by an imaging device is a high frequency on the basis of pixel outputs of a plurality of imaging pixels located around a focus detection pixel of the imaging device; and an application determination part for determining a mixed rate for weighted mixture in an interpolation processing part 315 on the basis of an output from the high frequency pattern detection part. The interpolation processing part 315 performs weighted mixture of an interpolation output calculated by using the pixel outputs of the imaging pixels located around the focus detection pixel and a pixel output of the focus detection pixel.
