Abstract:
1. An image processor, comprising: a separation and generation section for separating a main subject image region and a background image region from an original image data and generating a subject image data and a background image data, an image processing section which performs a blurring process on the background image data, an image synthesizing section for synthesizing the blurred background image data processed by the image processing section and the subject image data, wherein the image processing section includes: an image data reduction part which reduces the background image data at a predetermined reduction rate to generate a reduced background image data; a spatial filter processing part which performs a spatial filter process on the reduced background image data to generate a processed background image data; and an image data enlarging part which enlarges the processed background image data at an enlarging rate which is an inverse of the reduction rate.
