ABSTRACT:
This invention provides an image processing device which is capable of discriminating an edge even on a faint image by changing the edge discriminating parameters according to the gray-level values set in its control portion. An edge discriminating circuit discriminates an edge on an image and a gray-level converting portion then conducts gray-level conversion of the image and determines changeable set values of gray-levels. After this an edge discriminating circuit conducts the discrimination of an edge of the image. In this case the set values of gray-levels are given to the edge discriminating circuit to enable the latter to easily discriminate the edge portion having a low variation when the image has lowered gray-levels.
