Image processing device, image processing method, and program

An image processing method for executing image processing in an image processing device, comprising:

• estimating an image prior to the jaggedness occurrence from a jaggedness-occurring image and generating an estimated image prior to the jaggedness occurrence by an image estimation unit;
• and
• selecting a jaggedness-occurring area as a processing target area in the estimated image prior to the jaggedness occurrence, detecting a similar area that is a pixel area and similar to the processing target area, and then computing a weight according to the degree of similarity of each detected similar area to the processing target area, and detecting a corresponding area in the jaggedness-occurring image to the processing target area and the similar area, and then computing a corrected pixel value of the processing target area of the jaggedness-occurring image through a weighting/adding process to which the weight of a pixel value of the detected corresponding area is applied, by a weighting/adding unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to perform an image processing method, the method comprising:

• estimating an image prior to the jaggedness occurrence from a jaggedness-occurring image and generating an estimated image prior to the jaggedness occurrence in an image estimation unit;
• and
• selecting a jaggedness-occurring area as a processing target area in the estimated image prior to the jaggedness occurrence, detecting a similar area that is a pixel area and similar to the processing target area, and then computing a weight according to the degree of similarity of each detected similar area to the processing target area, and detecting a corresponding area in the jaggedness-occurring image to the processing target area and the similar area, and then computing a corrected pixel value of the processing target area of the jaggedness-occurring image through a weighting/adding process to which the weight of a pixel value of the detected corresponding area is applied, in a weighting/adding unit.
