摘要： For each pixel in an image (Din), a contrast correlation value (CT) is detected for peripheral areas centered around the pixel to be corrected (1), a contrast enhancement coefficient (Ken) is determined in accordance with the contrast correlation value (CT) (2), and in accordance with the enhancement coefficient (Ken), local contrast is enhanced for each pixel and an intermediate image (D3) is generated (3). When performing noise reduction (5) by smoothing the intermediate image (D3) in the time direction, the degree of noise reduction is controlled in accordance with a noise reduction coefficient (Knr) that is large where the enhancement coefficient (Ken) is large. With respect to a low-contrast image such as one captured under fog, haze or other poor weather conditions, the contrast in areas having reduced contrast is appropriately improved, and the noise that is enhanced in conjunction with contrast improvement is reduced, enabling a high quality image to be obtained.

摘要： An image processing method has an edge intensity value calculating section (4) for calculating an edge intensity value in a neighborhood of a pixel of interest from feature values of micro regions calculated by a feature value calculating section (3); an edge intensity value correcting section (5) for correcting the edge intensity value calculated by the edge intensity value calculating section (4) in accordance with an edge intensity correction curve; and a filter value calculating section (6) for calculating a low-pass filter value of the pixel of interest from image signal values of neighboring pixels having the same color component as the pixel of interest. It corrects the image signal value of the pixel of interest by carrying out weighted addition of the image signal value of the pixel of interest and the low-pass filter value using the edge intensity values before and after the correction.

摘要： Encoding efficiency is enhanced by actively combining a plurality of encoding methods. A picture element memory receives and stores picture elements within a predetermined range. A mode determinator selects an encoding mode based upon a reference picture element. A first encoding section and a second encoding section predicts the value of the encoded picture element, determines whether the prediction is correct, and then encodes the value of the encoding picture element based on the determination result and outputs a codeword for the encoding picture element. An encoding controller selectively operates the first encoding section and the second encoding section based upon one of the specific encoding modes and the other encoding mode other than the specific encoding mode selected by the mode determinator.

摘要： An image processing device comprises an encoder for encoding inputted image data in the form of fixed length compression. The encoded data encoded in the form of the fixed length compression by the encoder is stored in a hard disk through an encoded data buffer which is a toggle buffer. Accordingly, the image data can be stored in the hard disk at a constant speed, and a capacity of the encoded data buffer can be minimized since the data amount after data compression is decided. As a result, it is not necessary to provide a semiconductor memory corresponding to storage of one screen, so that a low cost image processing device is obtained.

摘要： A region determination circuit (60) determines whether or not each of the pixels in an image is within a region subject to correction, in which pixels having at most a predetermined brightness level appear with a frequency equal to or less than a predetermined value. An offset level generation circuit (10) generates an offset level (Offset) on the basis of the brightness of the pixels determined to be within the region subject to correction. An offset subtraction circuit (1) subtracts the offset level (Offset) from the image signal (Yi) to generate an offset image signal (Yofst). A gain generation circuit (20) generates a gain for the offset image signal (Yofst). A gain multiplication circuit (2) multiplies the offset image signal (Yofst) by the gain to generate a corrected image signal (Ya).
