An image processing apparatus includes an image quality correction circuit for correcting an image quality of input video data by enhancing the input video data and a control circuit for controlling the image quality correction circuit. The control circuit detects a signal level of a high-frequency component of the input video data and controls the image quality correction circuit in response to the signal level detection result so that the degree of enhancement of the input video data is increased in response to an increase in the signal level of the high-frequency component.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a video signal processing device, which can produce a digital video signal, excellent in image quality, fully utilizing effective picture elements of the imaging element, without performing a special control of an imaging element driving unit.In accordance with a contour correction gain calculated based on a compression ratio detecting signal outputted from an image compressing unit 21, a contour correction unit 22 can carry out a contour correction on a compressed image. Accordingly, an NTSC/PAL encoder 24 can output a preferable video signal, which has been subjected to an appropriate contour correction. Moreover, a digital outputting unit 25 outputs an uncompressed video signal, and therefore can provide a preferable video signal without deteriorating the effective picture elements of an imaging element.
