Abstract

Provided is a signal processing device, including a pixel array unit configured to include first pixels, second pixels, third pixels, and fourth pixels which have different spectral sensitivity characteristics and are arranged in a matrix form; and a pixel signal reading unit configured to read pixel signals obtained from the plurality of pixels arranged in the pixel array unit. The first pixels are adjacent to the second pixels in a row direction and a column direction, the second pixels are arranged at a two-pixel pitch in the row direction and the column direction, the third pixels are adjacent to the second pixels in one diagonal direction, the fourth pixels are adjacent to the second pixels in the other diagonal direction, and the pixel signal reading unit adds and reads the pixel signals obtained from the plurality of first pixels.
