A signal processing apparatus includes a signal processing section
applying a spatial frequency filter to a pixel signal to perform a signal
processing of noise reduction and/or edge enhancement, and a coefficient
correcting section setting a coefficient group of the spatial frequency
filter to a correct coefficient group. The coefficient correcting section
includes an analyzing section, a correspondence section and a coefficient
determining section. The analyzing section sets a local area to include
an object pixel of the signal processing, and obtains average color
information. A correspondence relation between the average color
information and the correct coefficient group is set beforehand in the
correspondence setting section. The coefficient determining section
checks the correspondence relation of the correspondence setting section
on the basis of the average color information obtained by the analyzing
section, and adjusts the correct coefficient group used for the pixel of
the processing object.
