IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE PROCESSOR, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing method capable of appropriately increasing a resolution of an input image.

SOLUTION: The image processing method comprises: a direction identification step S1002 of identifying an edge direction that is a direction along an edge included in an input image; a region determination step S1003 of determining a shape of an application region that is a region including at least a part of the edge according to the identified edge direction; an image search step S1005 of searching for a similar image similar to an image within the application region having the determined shape; and image generation steps S1005 to S1007 of generating an output image by performing a resolution conversion process on the input image using the similar image so that the input image includes high-frequency components.
