<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a high-quality processed image while reducing computational complexity when compressing a dynamic range of an image. <P>SOLUTION: A compression table creation unit 23 creates first and second compression tables T1, T2. A first compression processing unit 24 creates a blurred image S2' of an image S2, refers to the first compression table T1 and calculates a correction amount of the dynamic range from the blurred image S2', thereby compressing the dynamic range of the image S2 and obtaining an intermediate processed image S3. Subsequently, a second compression processing unit 25 refers to the second compression table T2 and calculates the correction amount of the dynamic range without creating a blurred image of the intermediate processed image S2, thereby compressing the dynamic range of the intermediate processed image S3 and obtaining a processed image S4. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
