Abstract

Method and apparatus for processing edges in an image are provided. The method in an embodiment includes the following steps. With respect to a cross-shaped patterned centered at a target pixel of an input image, a first-direction gradient along a first direction and a second-direction gradient along a second direction are calculated. According to the first-direction and second-direction gradients, it is determined whether to compensate the target pixel based on pixel values of a first plurality of pixels along the second direction or pixel values of a second plurality of pixels along the first direction within the cross-shaped pattern, or to output a pixel value of the target pixel.
