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 4):
The image processing apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the target image data includes a plurality of component values corresponding to each of the plurality of pixels, the plurality of component values corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of components, and\n wherein the second single-component image data is one of first image data and second image data, the first image data including a plurality of first pixel values corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of first pixel values being related to a minimum value among the plurality of component values of corresponding one of the plurality of pixels, the second image data including a plurality of second pixel values corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of second pixel values being related to a maximum value among the plurality of component values of corresponding one of the plurality of pixels.
