Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing device generates a brightness image and a color difference image by calculating a brightness value and color difference values for one pixel from multiple pixels within a first range in an image photographed by a single-chip image sensor, calculates a double-end brightness correlation coefficient that represents a correlation between a selected brightness pixel and other brightness pixels from the brightness values of multiple brightness pixels within a second range including the selected brightness pixel from the brightness image as well as calculating a weighting coefficient for each of the brightness pixels within the second range from the double-end brightness correlation coefficient, and corrects the color difference values of the color difference image using the weighting coefficient calculated from the brightness image.
