Abstract:
An image processing apparatus performs: acquiring target image data representing a target image including a plurality of pixels, the target image data including a plurality of sets of component image data representing respective ones of a plurality of component images; smoothing the plurality of component images to generate respective sets of a plurality of sets of smoothed component image data representing respective ones of a plurality of smoothed component images; enhancing an edge in each of the plurality of smoothed component images to generate corresponding one set of a plurality of sets of enhanced component image data; generating single-component image data including one type of component value corresponding to each of the plurality of pixels by using the plurality of sets of enhanced component image data; and specifying a plurality of edge pixels using the single-component image data, the plurality of edge pixels constituting an edge in the target image.

Claim (Index 7):
The image processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the target image includes the plurality of edge pixels and a plurality of non-edge pixels, the plurality of edge pixels having respective ones of a plurality of edge pixel values, the plurality of non-edge pixels having respective ones of a plurality of non-edge pixel values, and\n wherein the set of computer-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, causes the image processing apparatus to further perform:\n applying image processing to the target image data to generate processed target image data, the image processing including first image processing and second image processing different from the first image processing, the first image processing being applied to the plurality of edge pixel values, the second image processing being applied to the plurality of non-edge pixels.
