IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A specifying unit specifies a pixel value at a pixel position of a reference image to a pixel of a sample enlarged image at a position relative to a pixel position of the reference image as an initial pixel value. A selecting unit selects a target pixel from pixels other than pixels having the pixel values specified therefor including the pixels having the initial pixel values are set in the sample enlarged image. An allocating unit configured to allocate the pixel value of the pixel at a similar region position of the reference image to the pixel value of the target value in the sample enlarged image when a searching unit searches the similar region position similar to a pixel value pattern including a set of already specified pixels in a spatial neighborhood of the target pixel from the reference image is provided.
