Abstract

See full text

There is described a method for processing an input image, so as to output a processed image. The method includes the steps of: deriving image characteristic information of a predetermined area, which includes adjacent pixels and is located in a vicinity of an image-processing object pixel other than the adjacent pixels, from information of the adjacent pixels residing in the predetermined area, both the adjacent pixels and the image-processing object pixel being included in the input image; and applying a sharpness-enhancement processing to the image-processing object pixel, based on the image characteristic information. The image characteristic information includes at least one of a sum of differential signal absolute-values between the adjacent pixels residing in the predetermined area, a variance of each signal value of the adjacent pixels residing in the predetermined area and a standard deviation of each signal value of the adjacent pixels residing in the predetermined area.
