Abstract

A color image sensing device comprises an image sensor having pixels of the offset sampling structure in which the horizontal pitch is P.sub.H, the vertical pitch is P.sub.V and the horizontal offset amount is P.sub.H /2, and a color filter array comprising three or four types of color filters provided in one-to-one relation to the pixels of the image sensor. The color filter array has the offset sampling structure in which those types of color filters are each arranged with the horizontal pitch of 2P.sub.H, the vertical pitch of 2P.sub.V and the horizontal offset amount of P.sub.H.
