Abstract:
An image processing device includes circuitry to: acquire an image matrix including a target pixel from first image data having a first resolution; determine whether one or more detection patterns match the image matrix; and perform edge enhancement on the target pixel and convert the first resolution into a second resolution to convert the target pixel into second image data, if the image matrix matches any of the one or more detection patterns. The first image data includes a plurality of pixels each including first and second pixel values respectively indicating image information and whether each of the plurality of pixels is an area where a specific object is drawn. The one or more detection patterns, each including a plurality of pixels each including the first and second pixel values, are patterns to detect a pixel forming an edge portion where the first and second pixel values vary between pixels.
