A pixel interpolation apparatus including an interpolation section for calculating an estimation density value of a missing pixel from densities of peripheral pixels of the missing pixel; and a correction section for calculating a first average value which being an average density value of pixels in a first two-dimensional area containing the missing pixel whose density value is assumed to be the estimation density value calculated by the interpolation section and a second average value which being an average density value of a second two-dimensional area, located in a peripheral of the missing pixel, not containing the missing pixel, and for correcting the estimation density value of the missing pixel in the first two-dimensional area so that a difference between the first average value and the second average value becomes zero or small.
