WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/006411
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a method for processing signals read from a solid-state image pickup device 1 comprising: a plurality of pixels 10 that are so arranged as to be adjacent to one another; and a predetermined plurality of storage elements 37 that are provided for each of the plurality of pixels 10 and that sequentially hold signals outputted from each pixel 10. The method comprises: determining, from among signals read from the storage elements 37, an unsuitable signal that is unsuitable for a predetermined condition; and estimating a normal signal on the basis of signals that were acquired, in pixels 10 adjacent to the pixel 10 corresponding to the storage element 37 from which the unsuitable signal has been read, at a timing corresponding to the timing of the unsuitable signal and/or on the basis of signals that were acquired, in the pixel 10 corresponding to the storage element 37 from which the unsuitable signal has been read, at timings immediately before and after the timing of the unsuitable signal.
