Abstract:
An image processing device for processing input image data including a plurality of pixel data, the device comprising:a correction unit that corrects for image deterioration caused by chances in image magnification; a reduction/enlargement unit that, based on the magnification, thins out the pixel data when reduction is being performed or carries out inflation of the pixel data when enlargement is being performed; and a controller that changes the operation of the correction unit in response to the magnification, further comprising a selector switch for controlling a flow of the input image data, wherein when the image magnification is reduction processing, the input image data is sent to the correction unit first and then to the reduction/enlargement unit, and when the image magnification is enlarging processing, the input image data is sent to the reduction/enlargement unit first and then to the correction unit.
