Edge enhancement apparatus for portable digital camera, has edge enhancement unit to enhance output of interpolation unit according to edge detection value, which is obtained by edge detection unit

摘要

The apparatus has an interpolation unit (403) interpolating an image data received from a register (402). An edge detection unit (406) detects an edge on the image data to output an edge detection value in parallel to the interpolation, according to a selection signal representing a pattern of the image data. An edge enhancement unit enhances an output of the interpolation unit according to the edge detection value. An independent claim is also included for a method of performing an edge enhancement.
