ABSTRACT:
An original image is divided into a plurality of pixel blocks each consisting of a plurality of pixels. A density histogram represented by an electric signal is obtained for each pixel block. Respective pixel blocks are analyzed to find adjacent pixel blocks which are uniform and continuous in density. If the pixel blocks thus found are continuous in density with the reference pixel blocks located at the corner of the original image, the pixel blocks are regarded as those representing the background portion of the original image. The numbers of pixels in the density histogram is corrected for each background pixel block, and highlight and shadow points for determining a gradation curve is determined. The gradation curve is set in a signal-converter to convert an image signal representative of the original image.
