Abstract: An image processing device includes: a calculator that calculates a gray scale histogram for each color component of an image signal; a calculator that calculates, for each color component, a maximum and a minimum of classes having a frequency greater than zero in the gray scale histogram; a determiner that generates, for each color component, a histogram having classes each having an absolute difference value between the frequencies of adjacent classes in the gray scale histogram, and compares the absolute difference values in the histograms with a value to determine, from the presence or absence of an absolute difference value exceeding the value, an image type of the image; a generator that generates a gray scale correction curve from the calculated maximum and minimum for each color component; and a corrector that performs gray scale correction on the image signal using the gray scale correction curve.

Abstract: In an image processing apparatus, maximum values and minimum values of the classes of respective color components are calculated; the largest value among the maximum values of the color components is found as an all-color maximum value, color correction curves are generated, on the basis of the maximum and minimum values of the respective color components and the all-color maximum value, for color components other than the color component whose maximum value is equal to the all-color maximum value, and the color correction curves are used to perform corrections on the respective color components of the image signal. The color correction curves are generated for performing corrections such that, after the corrections, the maximum value of each color component is approximately equal to the all-color maximum value.
