Abstract
Image processing apparatus includes: interpolation process image acquisition means for acquiring an interpolation process image of prescribed size which includes an interpolation point of an inputted image; Fourier transform means for subjecting the interpolation process image which is acquired with the interpolation process image acquisition means to Fourier transform; phase change means for changing, a phase of each value of the transformed interpolation process image which has been subjected to Fourier transform by the Fourier transform means, such that the interpolation point migrates to a desired nearby integer coordinate position; inverse Fourier transform means for subjecting the interpolation process image whose phase has been changed by the phase change means, to inverse Fourier transform; interpolation value determination means for adopting an interpolation point, a value of a pixel at the integer coordinate position, from the transformed interpolation process image subjected to inverse Fourier transform by the inverse Fourier transform means.
