Abstract

See full text

In a horizontal-direction processing section, a comparing circuit sequentially compares pixel values of two adjacent pixels in a video image. A detecting circuit detects a horizontal flat region in which a difference between the pixel values compared by the comparing circuit is within a specified range. A horizontal boundary of the detected region is determined by the following processing. If a difference or the level (inclination) of a change in pixel value between two pixels adjacent to each other across the boundary is within a specified range, the boundary is determined to be a step in a gradation region. Vertically oriented processing is done same as processing of a horizontal direction.
