Abstract

See full text

In order to suitably perform image processing for enhancing edge reproducibility on an image, an image processing apparatus, determines whether or not a pixel of interest in an input image is a pixel configuring an edge, and determines whether or not the pixel of interest in the input image is a pixel configuring a semi-transparent object. In addition, the apparatus performs image processing for enhancing edge reproducibility for the pixel of interest if it is determined that the pixel of interest is a pixel configuring an edge and is not a pixel configuring a semi-transparent object. On the other hand, the apparatus inhibits execution of the image processing for the pixel of interest if it is determined that the pixel of interest is a pixel configuring an edge and is a pixel configuring a semi-transparent object.
