Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the complementary color type color filter for the CCD which makes highly precise false color corrections horizontally and vertically and the false color correcting circuit which uses the color filter. CONSTITUTION:Two kind of colors are arranged alternately by picture elements horizontally and vertically in many color areas 20, divided and arrayed longitudinally and laterally in a lattice shape, so that four picture elements in the color areas in four directions have the same color components at any position; and color difference signals (R-Y signal and B-Y signal) are obtained according to four specific picture elements selected in the color areas 20. Consequently, a false color area even if generated at any position in an image (filter) can be corrected by using the color difference signals of the nearby area at all times.

When performing false color correction using the color filter as described above, correction is generally performed in line units after demodulation of color difference signals (BY signal and RY signal). For example, when the line 12 of the color difference sequential filter (FIG. 6) is corrected, the line 10 which is the color line of the same system is corrected.
Alternatively, the color difference signal on the line 14 is used. On the other hand, in the case where correction is performed in pixel units before demodulation of the color difference signals, in the case of performing Mg or G correction in the color difference sequential filter (FIG. 6) in pixel units, the same color vertically separated by 4 pixels is used. The information M and G are used as correction colors. Further, in the case of the Bayer type filter (FIG. 7), the same color information immediately above, below or three pixels apart is used.

However, according to the conventional color filter as described above, since the same color in the vertical direction is arranged every other color or every two colors, the color difference sequential type color filter is used after color difference signal demodulation. When performing the correction, the color difference signal of the line before or after the two lines must be used. Further, even when the correction is performed on a pixel-by-pixel basis, the color difference sequential type color filter uses the same color information which is vertically separated by 4 pixels, and the Bayer type filter also uses the same color information separated by 3 pixels in the worst case. The information must be used as a correction signal. Therefore, it becomes difficult to perform the false color correction with high accuracy in the vertical direction,
For example, when the hue of the subject is different every 1.5 to 2.0 lines, it is impossible to accurately correct the false color generated in the vertical direction.
