Abstract
An image processing unit includes a candidate pixel group determiner to specify each pixel of an image to be processed as pixel of interest, extract pixels having divergence in position in a certain range from the pixel of interest, and determine, from the extracted pixels, pixels having divergence in pixel value in a certain range from the pixel of interest as a candidate pixel group, an associator to associate the candidate pixel group with the pixel of interest, and an image processor to perform image processing on the candidate pixel group associated with the pixel of interest. The image processor selects, from the candidate pixel group, pixels having divergence in pixel value in a certain range from the pixel of interest as a pixel group to be processed, and smoothes the pixel value of the pixel of interest in accordance with each pixel value of the candidate pixel group.
