PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contour enhancement circuit for enhancing a contour while reducing noise. SOLUTION: A first high frequency detecting circuit 20a or a second high frequency detecting circuit 20b determines the spatial frequency of a raw picture signal, and a gain G is decided by a selector 20f in response to the spatial frequency. The gain G is decreased more as the spatial frequency of the raw picture signal becomes lower. A multiplier 20h gives the gain G to a contour enhancement signal which is generated by a contour detecting circuit 20g, and an adder 20j adds the raw picture signal to the contour enhancement signal with the given gain G. Thus, the raw picture signal having the enhanced contour is obtained. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
