Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a processor configured to execute: acquiring image data; generating first interpolation image data associated with light having a red wavelength band, second interpolation image data associated with light having a green wavelength band, third interpolation image data associated with light having a blue wavelength band, and fourth interpolation image data associated with narrow band light; performing a color space conversion process for converting each of the first to the third interpolation image data to a luminance component and a color difference component; extracting a first specific frequency component included in the fourth interpolation image data; combining the converted luminance component with the extracted first specific frequency component; and generating color image data based on a combination result obtained by the combining and based on the color difference component.
