ABSTRACT:
An image processing method and apparatus for performing tone conversion on input image data X to produce converted data Y set a functional formula including at least two of a first-order term of the input image data X, a third-order term of the input image data X, and a fraction term of the input image data X. Alternatively, the function formula includes at least two of a second-order term of the input image data X, a third-order term of the input image data X, and a fraction term of the input image data X. Then, the converted data Y is output in accordance with the functional formula.
