ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus for performing nonlinear gamma corrections to image signals includes an image signal sampling unit for sampling plural kinds of picture information from the image signals of one picture frame, a nonlinear gamma correction unit for applying a nonlinear correction to the gamma of the image signals by use of nonlinear gamma curves, and a learning type gamma selector unit wherein a nonlinear relation between the picture information of the image signals sampled by the image signal sampling unit and the nonlinear gamma curves for correction is established by learning and then the picture information is judged according to the results of the learning to select a nonlinear gamma curve to be used for correction.
