Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an input device configured to receive an image, an image processor configured to enhance a sharpness of the image, and an output device configured to output the image with the enhanced sharpness, where the image processor is further configured to determine a weight of a gain for each pixel included in an edge area of the image based on a similarity between each pixel and adjacent pixels and apply a modified gain, which reflects the determined weight, to each pixel included in the edge area of the image.
