Abstract:
1. An image processing device comprising: an image estimation unit that estimates an image prior to the jaggedness occurrence from a jaggedness-occurring image and generates an estimated image prior to the jaggedness occurrence; and a weighting/adding unit that selects a jaggedness-occurring area as a processing target area in the estimated image prior to the jaggedness occurrence, detects a similar area that is a pixel area and similar to the processing target area, and then computes a weight according to the degree of similarity of each detected similar area to the processing target area, and detects a corresponding area in the jaggedness-occurring image to the processing target area and the similar area, and then computes a corrected pixel value of the processing target area of the jaggedness-occurring image through a weighting/adding process to which the weight of a pixel value of the detected corresponding area is applied.
