摘要

A multi-area white-balance control device includes a device that divides an inputted image into a plurality of areas, a device that estimates a white-balance correction gain for each of the divided areas, a device that determines whether the estimated white-balance correction gain of the area is peculiar or not, based on comparison with estimated white-balance correction gains of adjacent areas of the area and a device that modifies an estimated white-balance correction gain of an area determined to be peculiar, based on estimated white-balance correction gains of adjacent areas; and realizes color reproduction without unnaturalness even if white-balance correction gain estimation is wrong in an individual area.
