PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing method and an image processing apparatus capable of properly carrying out the white board contrast emphasis processing. SOLUTION: An image is divided into a plurality of blocks each comprising a plurality of pixels, a group of blocks comprising a prescribed number of blocks respectively longitudinally and laterally wherein each of all the blocks includes a target block, is set, and each target block is decided to be located at a corner remotest from a center O of the image in each block of the block group. Then a prescribed number of blocks with low luminance is extracted from the block group, an average Yab of a block background level of the blocks is calculated and the average Yab is set to the block background level of the target block. The processing above is sequentially carried out from the block located in the middle of the image toward the blocks located at the peripheral of the image. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
