An image processing apparatus that includes an edge-enhancement filter that enhances sharpness of an image is provided. The edge-enhancement filter includes distance calculators that calculate values of a distance between a target pixel and an optical center of a captured image in two or more axial directions, edge detection filters that detect edge amounts in two directions, multipliers that multiplies each of the edge amounts detected by the edge detection filters by one of the distance values of a corresponding one of the axial directions, a first adder that adds outputs of the multipliers together, and a second adder that adds a pixel value of the target pixel and an output of the first adder. A coring unit can be interposed between the first adder and the second adder if necessary.
