Publication number: 20160205342Abstract: For sharpening an input image by up-converting the input image in order to increase the number of pixels of an image and generating a frequency component higher than a frequency component contained in an input image signal representing the input image, the number of multipliers is reduced, thereby achieving significant downsizing of an apparatus and cost reduction. An image processing apparatus includes a path on a base image side for up-converting the input image signal and a path on a sharpening processing side for carrying out nonlinear arithmetic processing on the input image signal. The path on the sharpening processing side includes an up-converter at a subsequent stage of at least one filter, after which the nonlinear arithmetic processing is carried out. The at least one filter may be either a two-dimensional low pass filter for noise removal or a high pass filter for removing a DC component.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2014Publication date: July 14, 2016Applicant: KEISOKU GIKEN Co., Ltd.Inventors: Seiichi GOHSHI, Jin OGASAWARA, Shinichiro NAKAMURA
