Abstract
According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes a difference calculation unit, an intensity calculation unit, and an enhancing unit. The difference calculation unit calculates, for each partial area of an input image, a difference between a depth value of a subject and a reference value representing a depth as a reference. The intensity calculation unit calculates for each partial area an intensity, which has a local maximum value when the difference is 0 and has a greater value as the absolute value of the difference is smaller. The enhancing unit enhances each partial area according to the intensity to generate an output image.
