Abstract:
An endoscope device includes: a light source unit; an imaging device; a color filter in which a filter unit is arranged, the filter unit in which the number of filters which transmit light of a green wavelength band is equal to or larger than half the total number of filters and the number of filters which transmit light of a blue wavelength band is equal to or larger than the number of filters which transmit the light of the green wavelength band; and a noise reducing unit configured to select a pixel of interest based on used filter information determined according to the light emitted by the light source unit and a characteristic of each filter forming the color filter and detect motion between images captured at different times by using an electric signal output by the pixel of interest, thereby reducing a noise component included in the image signal.
