The color image has various edge profiles. In the conventional single kernel sharpness filter has the drawbacks of exhausting background noises or insensitivity to the dull edges. In the previous paper, we proposed an adaptive image sharpening method to the edge profiles. This paper,
reports its advanced model, which has both sharpening and smoothing functions. In addition, the paper assesses the edge sharpness factors by introducing the indices, such as
