ABSTRACT:
In a color image sensing system, a solid state image sensor has every four adjacent picture elements thereof grouped as one set, and combinations of color filters are arranged to cover almost all the picture elements of the image sensor. The color filters include first color filters which are arranged to pass a given color component for an obliquely adjacent pair of picture elements within each of the sets, and second and third color filters which are arranged to cover the other obliquely adjacent pair of picture elements within the same set. A signal composing circuit is arranged to receive the outputs of the solid-state image sensor, to form a signal corresponding to one of the picture elements having the first color filters by combining, in a given ratio, the output of this picture element and also those of other picture elements having the first color filters, and to form a signal corresponding to one of the picture elements having the second or third color filters by combining, in a given ratio, the outputs of the picture elements which have the first color filters and are disposed in the neighborhood of that picture element above, below and on the left and right sides of that picture element.
