Imaging device, image processing method, and color area setting program

摘要

The present invention provides an imaging device for picking up an image with a solid-state image pickup device including: a white balance adjusting block configured to subject an image signal obtained by imaging to white balance adjustment; a white balance adjustment control block configured to control an adjusting operation of the white balance adjusting block based on a result of determination concerning a type of light source for imaging; an image data processing block configured to subject, of the image signal corrected by the white balance adjusting block, signal components for a specified color area to an image signal processing; and a color area setting block configured to set a color area as an object for image data processing by the image data processing block according to an instruction from the outside. The white balance setting block has a function to change a white color point as a reference for white balance adjustment based on a result of determination concerning the light source for imaging. The color area setting block changes and sets a color area corresponding to an instruction from the outside in response to a change of the white color point by the white balance control block.
