Abstract
An image signal processing device includes a luminance information detecting circuit which detects luminance information on an object and a filter circuit to which an image signal is supplied from an image sensing system. The filtering characteristic of the filter circuit is arranged to be switched from one characteristic over to another according to the detection output of the luminance information detecting circuit, so that the generation of a pseudo-contour can be prevented.
