Image pickup apparatus and image pickup method
First Claim
1. An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- an image-pickup unit configured to capture an image;
a display unit configured to display an image at a resolution lower than a resolution at which the image-pickup unit can capture the image; and
an image processing unit configured to perform image processing for displaying the image captured by the image-pickup unit on the display unit,wherein the image processing unit includesan extraction section that extracts an edge component from the image,an edge processing section that performs processing for enhancing the edge component by performing low-pass filter processing on the edge component after performing full-wave rectification processing on the edge component,a combining section that combines the enhanced edge component with the image to generate a composite image, anda resolution conversion section that performs resolution conversion of the composite image so as to match a resolution of the composite image with the resolution of the display unit.

Abstract
An image processing device performs image processing on an image being captured to display the image on a display unit having a resolution lower than a resolution of the image. The image processing device includes an extraction section that extracts an edge component from the image, an edge enhancing section that enhances the edge component by performing low-pass filter processing on the edge component after performing full-wave rectification processing on the edge component, a combining section that combines the enhanced edge component with the image to generate a composite image, and a resolution conversion section that performs resolution conversion of the composite image to match a resolution of the composite image with the resolution of the display unit.

7. An image pickup method comprising:
-
capturing an image using an image-pickup unit; performing image processing for displaying the image captured by the image-pickup unit on a display unit having a resolution lower than a resolution of the image; displaying the image subjected to the image processing on the display unit; wherein the performing image processing includes extracting an edge component from the image, performing edge processing for enhancing the edge component by performing low-pass filter processing on the edge component after performing full-wave rectification processing on the edge component, combining the enhanced edge component with the image to generate a composite image, and performing resolution conversion of the composite image to match a resolution of the composite image with the resolution of the display unit.
