Abstract: An imaging device, an image system and an imaging method in which proper image correction processing is carried out on a video signal are provided. An imaging device includes: a video signal input unit which inputs a video signal; and an image processing unit to which the video signal is inputted and which carries out correction of the video signal and outputs a corrected video signal. The image processing unit includes a histogram detection unit which divides an image area termed by the acquired video signal into plural areas, acquires a per-area histogram that is a histogram or the video signal in each of the plural areas, and finds per-area histogram data for each area based on the per-area histogram. The image processing unit carries out correction of the video signal based on a cumulative value of the per-area histogram data.

Abstract: Defective pixels are to be selected so as not to cause image degradation. A defective pixel correction unit 13 in an image processing apparatus 1 obtains an imaging signal a12 from an imaging sensor 16 via a gain adjustment unit 12, and calculates an absolute value for the pixel value difference between a pixel to be tested for a defect of the imaging sensor 16 and each of its surrounding pixels, respectively. Next, the defective pixel correction unit 13 compares the differential with a defective pixel determination threshold value and determines the pixel being tested as defective, if the differential is greater than the threshold value. It should be noted that the threshold value is changed according to the magnitude of an image transition, by detecting the image transition of a video signal a14 in an image transition detection unit 15.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus is provided which minimizes reduction in S/N ratio and deterioration in resolution feeling at the lens periphery when the peripheral light amount drop correction of the lens is performed. An image processing LSI to perform the peripheral light amount drop correction of the imaging lens includes a space-direction noise removal correction part and a time-direction noise removal correction part. As the distance from the lens center position increases, the space-direction noise removal correction part reduces the noise reduction correction intensity to the image region to which the light amount drop correction gain is added in each image. As the distance from the lens center increases, the time-direction noise removal correction part increases the noise removal correction intensity to the image region to which the light amount drop correction gain is added in each image.

Abstract: In a microcomputer included in an image device, a mask 2D 3D converting section expresses coordinates of a 2-dimensional image plane defined by an imaging element having a rectangular contour in a 3-dimensional coordinate system. The image plane is positioned in the state that a focal length corresponding to a zoom position is adopted as a Z coordinate value of the image plane in the 3-dimensional coordinate system. A mask display position calculating section 165 calculates a 2-dimensional position of a mask on a camera screen by utilizing a similarity of the size of the image plane and the size of the camera screen when a position of a mask on the image plane in the 3-dimensional coordinate system after PAN, TILT rotations and a zooming is converted into the 2-dimensional position of the mask on the camera screen.
