Abstract:
An image processing device includes: a first edge strength calculation part that calculates a first edge strength for a focus pixel based on pixel values in a first region that includes the focus pixel in an input image; a second edge strength calculation part that calculates a second edge strength for the focus pixel based on pixel values in a second region that is smaller than the first region and that includes the focus pixel; and a filter processing part that determines a filter coefficient such that a first smoothing strength is higher than a second smoothing strength and that filters the input image using the filter coefficient. The first smoothing strength is obtained where the first edge strength is higher than a first reference value and where the second edge strength is lower than a second reference value, and the second smoothing strength is obtained in other cases.
