<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform unsharp mask processing which suppresses feeling of a surface roughness of an image by presence of pixel of a high degree of an isolated point. <P>SOLUTION: When performing unsharp mask processing, whether or not an attention pixel is a maximum value or a minimum value of a plurality of pixels surrounding it, in other words whether or not the attention pixel is isolated is determined (S901). When it is determined as a non-isolated pixel, the unsharp mask processing is performed according to established sharpness emphatic coefficient. Also when it is determined the attention pixel is being isolated, the established sharpness emphatic coefficient is corrected (S905) according to the degree of an isolated point. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
