IMAGING DEVICE WITH HORIZONTAL LINE INTERPOLATION FUNCTION

摘要

The phases of three color signals in the vertical direction sent from a plurality of solid-state imaging elements arranged in the captioned device are shifted from each other. Thus, when the horizontal line interpolations are generated, it is possible to reduce the degradation of the frequency response characteristic in the vertical direction and of the sharpness of the image in the vertical direction when the interpolated video signals are viewed as the whole of the three color signals (for example, when a luminance signal generated by combining the G, R, B signals by a matrix operations is considered). Also, by generating pseudo frame signals, it is possible to produce a high quality stationary frame.
