PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contour correction apparatus and a contour correction method capable of obtaining a clear and smooth video image. SOLUTION: A luminance signal YS1 is input into an input terminal 101, and is provided to a first high-frequency signal extracting circuit 110, to a second high-frequency signal extracting circuit 120 and to an adding circuit 203. The circuit 110 extracts a high-frequency component H1 of the luminance signal YS1. The circuit 120 extracts a high-frequency component H2 of the luminance signal YS1. A component having a frequency lower than that of the high-frequency component H1 extracted by the circuit 110 is contained in the high-frequency component H2. A first contour correction signal AM1 is generated on the basis of the high-frequency signal H1, a second contour correction signal H2 is generated on the basis of the high-frequency signal H2, and a third contour correction signal AM3 is generated on the basis of the first and second contour correction signals AM1, AM2. The third contour correction signal AM3 is added to the luminance signal YS1 by an adding circuit 203. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
