ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to realize an image processing technique of making chromatic aberration correction excellently function and capable of efficiently correcting a chromatic aberration and to reduce storage capacity of parameters used for the chromatic aberration correction. It is constructed so that an image processing unit concurrently performs a chromatic aberration correcting process of correcting a chromatic aberration by an image capturing optical system and a color interpolating process of interpolating a dropout color component pixel by pixel on an image signal obtained from an image capturing device. On the basis of position information of a pixel to be processed obtained from the image processing unit, a control unit determines an image filter to be applied to the pixel. For example, an image filter is generated by combining a filter for chromatic aberration correction and a filter for color interpolating process. The image filter is applied, filter computation is performed on the image signal, and the chromatic aberration correcting process and the color interpolating process are concurrently performed.
