An edge emphasizing circuit includes a weighing addition circuit, and the
weighing addition circuit performs on the basis of a weighing coefficient
applied from a coefficient calculating circuit a weighing addition with
respect to raw image data and data obtained by performing a filtering
process on the raw image data by a median filter. Then, an aperture
signal producing circuit produces an aperture signal on the basis of a
result of the weighing addition. The aperture signal is in an adder
superimposed on Y data output from a signal processing circuit, whereby
an edge component of the Y data is emphasized.
