ABSTRACT:
A plurality of regions are set for input image data formed of a plurality of pixels. A characteristic parameter for each region is extracted in accordance with a state of distribution in each region. Vectors representing relationships between the regions are calculated based on the extracted characteristic parameters. A filter is produced in accordance with the calculated vector. Using the filter, the image data is filtered. In this manner, jaggies, discontinuities and satellite dots appearing at characters and lines of the image are removed and corrected.
