Imaging device, image processing method, and recording medium
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A color imaging device comprising:
- an imager to generate an image with color decomposition, the imager producing raw image data as a result of generating the image;
a raw image data decomposing unit to decompose the raw image data into a plurality of color planes such that each color plane includes data of pixels of the same color in the form of sub-color image data; and
data compressing unit to compress the sub-color image data for each of the plurality of color planes.

Abstract
An image processing method includes obtaining raw image data of an object by generating the object by an imager that generates an image of the object with color decomposition, decomposing the raw image data into a plurality of color planes such that each of the color planes comprises pixel information of a color pertinent to the color plane, and compressing data of each color plane.

7. A color imaging device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the controller sets, in the case a user of the color imaging device attaches importance to resolution of reproduced images, the compression ratio of the specific color plane to be smaller than a standard compression ratio and further the compression ratio of the other color planes to be larger than the standard compression ratio.
