  • Patent number: 8938128
    Abstract: A weighted image enhancement method includes receiving an original image. The original image includes several original pixels. The original image is sharpened to generate a sharpened image. The sharpened image includes several sharpened pixels. Edge detection is performed with respect to the original image to generate a probability of whether each original pixel is on an edge. An enhancement mode setting is received. A corresponding weight table corresponding to the enhancement mode setting is looked up to obtain a corresponding enhancement weight of each original pixel according to the probability of whether each original pixel is on an edge. A weight calculation is performed utilizing each original pixel and its corresponding sharpened pixel according to its corresponding enhancement weight to generate an enhanced image. The enhanced image is displayed by a display unit.

  • Patent number: 8416258
    Abstract: A method for adjusting the color of images is provided. In the method, firstly, an original hue-saturation-value (HSV) color coordinate is obtained from an original image signal. Next, the original HSV color coordinate is converted into an adjusted HSV color coordinate according to color adjusting data. Afterwards, the adjusted HSV color coordinate is converted into a corrected HSV color coordinate. Then, an output image signal is generated according to the corrected HSV color coordinate.
