Abstract:
An image processing device includes a computer that is configured to: detect edge-strength information expressing an edge strength in an acquired image; apply noise-reduction processing using spatial information to the image; apply noise-reduction processing using frequency information to the image; and composite a first processed image subjected to the noise-reduction processing using spatial information and a second processed image subjected to the noise-reduction processing using frequency information, by using weights in which a compositing ratio of the first processed image becomes higher than a compositing ratio of the second processed image, in a region where the edge strength, which is expressed by the detected edge-strength information, is greater than a predetermined threshold, and in which the compositing ratio of the second processed image becomes higher than the compositing ratio of the first processed image, in a region where the edge strength is less than the threshold.
Abstract:
A similarity calculation unit calculates a similarity between pixel values of a target pixel and a reference pixel and a similarity between the pixel value of the target pixel and an average value of pixel values of reference pixels, in an input image. A weighting factor calculation unit calculates weighting factors based on the calculated similarities. A weighted average value calculation unit calculates weighted average values of the pixel value of the reference pixel and the average value of the pixel values of the reference pixels by use of the calculated weighting factors. A subtraction unit calculates a difference value between the pixel values of the target pixel and the reference pixel. An isolation degree calculation unit calculates an isolation degree based on the calculated deference value. A correction unit corrects the target pixel based on the calculated isolation degree.
