Abstract
An image processing apparatus, an image processing program, and an image processing method for achieving visibility of the entire image used for capturing a microscopic image while concurrently retaining accuracy of image processing are disclosed. The image processing apparatus includes an output value obtaining unit, a first interpolation unit, a second interpolation unit, an image generation unit, and a first edge detection unit. The output value obtaining unit obtains respective output values of light-receiving elements. The first interpolation unit uses a first interpolation algorithm to interpolate a pixel value. The second interpolation unit uses a second interpolation algorithm to interpolate a pixel value. The image generation unit generates an image based on a pixel value, which is interpolated by the first interpolation unit. The first edge detection unit detects an edge using a first edge detection algorithm based on a pixel value, which is interpolated by the second interpolation unit.
