Abstract
At least part of an image boundary is specified as a target boundary portion to be processed and is then subjected to fractal processing. This procedure gives a corrected image boundary. When one cycle of the fractal processing magnifies the target boundary portion by M times, the target boundary portion is contracted to 1/M.sup.N (wherein N is an integer of not less than 1) prior to the fractal processing. The fractal processing is recursively executed by N times on the contracted target boundary portion.
