Abstract
Abstract A color image processing apparatus wherein different color filters (45) are provided in an image pickup device (20) corresponding to plural groups of small pixels, each group of which is one unit of color pixels, and color image signals are obtained from the common position of the small pixel groups by suitably interpolating color image signals obtained from the small pixel groups.
