  • SYSTEM FOR IMAGE CORRECTION PROCESSING
    Publication number: 20190087941
    Abstract: An image smoothing unit smoothing a target image having pixel values which include a plurality of color components with a different plurality of smoothing degrees and generating a plurality of smoothed images; a calculation unit obtaining color differences being differences between a pixel value of a predetermined color component of the target image and pixel values of a color component of each of the smoothed images which is different from the predetermined color component at each pixel position of the target image, and calculating dispersions of the obtained color difference; a determination unit comparing sharpness of each of the color components of the target image based on the dispersions of the color differences and determining a color component having the highest sharpness; and an adjustment unit adjusting the sharpness of at least one of the color components of the target image based on the color component having the highest sharpness.
