IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND RECORDING MEDIUM WITH IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM RECORDED THEREON

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image processing apparatus smoothing image data and a recording medium on which an image processing program to allow a computer to realize the smoothing is recorded that smooth the image data while retaining the substantial structure of the image. SOLUTION: The image processing unit applies selective smoothing to at least one color component of a target pixel depending on the correlation between the target pixel denoting a pixel to be noticed and pixels placed around the target pixel among pixels configuring the image data.
