PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the pseudo contour of an image caused by image data inconspicuous. SOLUTION: The image data expressing the image by a plurality of pixels practically having luminance respectively are read(S2). A frequency distribution x of the number of pixels for every luminance is obtained (S4, S6). A frequency distribution y is obtained by performing a predetermined smoothing processing to the frequency distribution x (S8). An image evaluation value is determined from the distribution x and the distribution y (S10). Then, a noise is added to the image data according to the image evaluation value (14, 16). In this way, the image data in which the pseudo contour is caused by the image data can be made into the image data inconspicuous in the pseudo contour. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
