<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing apparatus, an image processing method and a program for properly removing a streaked pattern noise from a streaked pattern image. <P>SOLUTION: The image processing apparatus includes: a data storage part 22 and a first image enhancing part 28. The data storage part 22 stores the image data of a streaked pattern image as a gray-scale image and direction distribution data indicating the direction distribution of a streaked pattern noise existing in the first area of the streaked pattern image. The first image enhancing part 28 executes first image enhancing processing in the first area. The direction distribution data relates a first position as the position of a first pixel in the first area and a first direction as the direction of the streaked pattern noise in the first position. The first image enhancing part 28 determines a first reference area as a local area which contains the first pixel on the basis of the first direction configured such that the first reference area is contained in the first area, and calculates a density value after the first image enhancing processing in the first pixel on the basis of a first density histogram in the first reference area. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
