Abstract:
An image processing apparatus and method, and a program are provided to perform correction according to two-dimensional image processing for values of pixels constructing image data without depending on two-dimensional filtering. An image processing apparatus includes a horizontal image processor(21), a vertical image processor(22), a tilted image processor(23,24), a correction determination unit, and a corrector(30). The horizontal image processor performs image processing for the value of a noted pixel among pixels constructing image data using values of pixels including the noted pixel, which are arranged in the horizontal direction. The vertical image processor performs image processing for the value of the noted pixel using values of pixels including the noted pixel, which are arranged in the vertical direction. The tilted image processor carries out image processing using values of pixels arranged in a tilted direction different from the horizontal and vertical directions. The correction determination unit determines the quantity of correction for the value of the noted pixel based on the processing results of the vertical image processor, the horizontal image processor and the tilted image processor. The corrector adds the quantity of correction to the value of the noted pixel in order to correct the value of the noted pixel.

PCT No. PCT/JP88/00286 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 10, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 10, 1989 PCT Filed Mar. 18, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO88/07307 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 22, 1988.A noise reduction circuit in which a first signal (S h2) is obtained by passing the input video signal (S I ) through a low frequency shut-off filter (10) and another a limiter (11), a second before signal (S H21) is obtained by passing the above obtained signal (S H2) through a field or frame delay circuit (5) and the difference between the two signals (S H2- SH21) is subtracted from the above input video signal (S I ) so as not to lower the definition of image, the noise reduction circuit being capable of application in a television receiver etc.
