1. A correction parameter creation apparatus, comprising: a histogram creation module configured to create a histogram of luminance values based on an input image; and a parameter creation module configured to create a parameter, the parameter indicative of an input-output characteristic configured for histogram equalization, wherein the histogram creation module is configured to determine whether a target pixel in the input image is a local low-luminance pixel, the histogram creation module further configured to omit counting a frequency of a luminance value of the target pixel if the target pixel is determined to be a local low-luminance pixel.
