Abstract
A method and an apparatus are provided for sharpening an image, by an image processor of an electronic device. An input image is received. Low pass filtering is applied to the input image to generate a first image and a second image. A kernel size of first image and the second image are different. Edge preserving filtering is applied to the input image to generate a third image and a fourth image. A kernel size of the third image and the fourth image are different. The first image is subtracted from the third image to obtain a first resulting image. The first image has a larger kernel size than the third image. The second image from the fourth image to obtain a second resulting image. The second image has a larger kernel size than the fourth image. The first resultant image, the second resultant image, and the input image are summed to generate a sharpened image.
