Abstract

See full text

An image processing apparatus includes a weight calculation unit, a gamma calculation unit, and a conversion unit. The weight calculation unit calculates a weight coefficient to calculate a second gamma characteristic based on light information of an image. The second gamma characteristic has a narrower range of lightness than a first gamma characteristic. The first gamma characteristic represents a characteristic of a display connected to the apparatus in the dark. The gamma calculation unit calculates the second gamma characteristic based on the weight coefficient, and calculates a gamma conversion function based on the second gamma characteristic. The second gamma characteristic more approximates a lightness of the first gamma characteristic if the light information is darker, and more approximates a gradation of the lightness of the first gamma characteristic if the light information is brighter. The conversion unit converts pixel values of the image, based on the gamma conversion function.
