ABSTRACT:
An image processing apparatus includes a surrounding-pixels selecting unit that selects surrounding pixels that surround a correction pixel in an input image based on a low-pass filter, a reference-pixels selecting unit that selects pixels from the surrounding pixels based on pixel values of the correction pixel and the surrounding pixels, a smoothed-image creating unit that applies the low-pass filter to the reference pixels to create a smoothed image of the reference pixels, and an output image creating unit that creates an output image based on the smoothed image, and a difference image between the smoothed image and the input image.
