Abstract

A pattern matching processing unitbinarizes input image data, compares a binarized pattern with a pattern provided for each of groups, and outputs either first information indicating a group to which a pattern that matches the binarized pattern belongs or second information indicating no match. A 0-degree direction dedicated filter, a 45-degree direction dedicated filter, a 90-degree direction dedicated filter, and a 135-degree direction dedicated filterwhich are disposed correspondingly to the groups carry out smoothing processes according to the direction of an edge of the image, respectively. When the pattern matching processing unit outputs the first information, a selectorselects the output of either one of the filters corresponding to the group as output image data, whereas when the pattern matching processing unit outputs the second information, the selector outputs the input image dataas the output image data
