Abstract
An image processing device includes an edge-enhancing image enlarger that converts an input image to a high-resolution image with edge enhancement. A difference calculator determines differences between the high-resolution image and the input image. A high-resolution image corrector corrects the high-resolution image by diffusing the differences to pixels of the high-resolution image, thereby generating a corrected image in which edges are enhanced without image degradation in textured areas.
