Abstract
An image processing apparatus performs a gradation conversion on an input image (frame) input from the outside to generate a conversion image and performs a plurality of smoothing processes corresponding to a plurality of preset level values on the generated conversion image or a reduced image generated from the conversion image to generate a plurality of level-value-limited conversion images. Then, the image processing apparatus selects one or a plurality of conversion images from the plurality of level-value-limited conversion images, synthesizes the selected images, generates a synthesis image, performs the gradation conversion on the generated synthesis image, and generates a smoothed image that is converted to have the same gradation as that of the input image.
