Abstract
An image resolution conversion method converting an image of a first resolution represented by multivalued digital data into an image of a second resolution by interpolation, comprises the steps of assigning a block defined by a plurality of pre-conversion pixels of the first resolution image to each post-conversion pixel, performing edge detection in the block based on data for each pixel of the block, and performing resolution conversion by a first interpolation method when at least the result of the edge detection satisfies predetermined conditions, and performing resolution conversion by a second interpolation method when the result of the edge detection does not satisfy the predetermined conditions.
