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 14):
The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to  claim 10 , wherein the enhancing comprises:\n designating a target pixel one by one from the plurality of pixels included in the each of the plurality of smoothed component images; calculating a smoothed target pixel value of the target pixel using a target pixel value and a plurality of peripheral pixel values, the each of the plurality of smoothed component images including the target pixel having the target pixel value and a plurality of peripheral pixels of the target pixel having respective ones of the plurality of peripheral pixel values; calculating a difference between the smoothed target pixel value and the target pixel value; setting a processed pixel value of the target pixel based on the target pixel value and the difference; and generating the corresponding one set of the plurality of sets of enhanced component image data including a plurality of processed pixel values corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of pixels.
