Abstract
A first edge width correction process () is carried out in which edge widths are corrected by an interpolation process using zoom ratio control values (RZC) generated according to the edge widths in image data; an enlargement processing process () that enlarges the image data with edge widths corrected by the first edge width correction process () is carried out; a second edge width correction process () similar to the first edge width correction process is carried out on the enlarged image data; and an edge enhancement process that enhances edges in the image data with edge widths corrected by the second edge width correction process is carried out. An image processing apparatus is obtained that mitigates the loss of sharpness in an enlarged image and accordingly makes it possible to provide better picture quality.
