Abstract:
An image processing apparatus processes a center pixel by using a plurality of adjacent pixels included in an M×N region. The image processing apparatus includes a pixel value storage unit for storing first pixel values that correspond to first pixels included in one or more rows including a center row in which the center pixel is disposed, and second pixel values that correspond to second pixels disposed above the first pixels from among the plurality of adjacent pixels; and a pixel processing unit for processing the center pixel, based on the first and second pixel values, wherein the M and N are natural numbers that are equal to or greater than two.
Abstract:
Provided are an image processing apparatus and an image processing method using sharpening filtering. The image processing method includes filtering input image data using a plurality of directional filters, comparing a plurality of filtering results with a threshold value that corresponds to the filtering results, selectively aggregating a plurality of output values of the directional filters according results of the comparison, and performing a first calculation on the input image data and a result of the selective aggregation.
