  • Publication number: 20080166044
    Abstract: A method for mapping/enhancing the color of an image to be displayed on a display includes receiving an image having a plurality of pixels where each of the pixels has a plurality of color components. The image is processed using a pair of gamut color mapping operations in combination with skin-tone pixels detection to modify the image in a suitable manner for presentation on the display, wherein the technique includes color temperature compensation.

  • Publication number: 20080031539
    Abstract: A method of processing an image includes receiving an image to be displayed. Then at least one selective region of the image that has a transition from at least one of dark to bright and bright to dark is determined. The image is modified to include additional information so as to increase the perceived dynamic range of the image proximate the transition when the image is displayed on a display.

  • Publication number: 20070172119
    Abstract: A method for enhancing the color of an image to be displayed on a display includes receiving an image having a plurality of pixels where each of the pixels has a plurality of color components. The image is filtered using a spatial filter in such a manner that the lower frequency content of the image is enhanced in such a manner that the color gamut of the lower frequency content is increased. The filtered image is modified such that the higher frequency content of the image to obtain a modified image that includes the higher frequency content and the lower frequency content.

  • Patent number: 7194147
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for converting an achromatic, higher-resolution image to a lower-resolution image with reduced visible errors. These systems and methods comprise a sub-pixel sampling performed on a higher-resolution image. The sub-pixel sampled image is then converted to an opponent color domain image that is separated into separate luminance and chrominance channels. These chrominance channels are then high-pass filtered and combined with the luminance channel to form a filtered opponent color domain image.

  • Patent number: 7181050
    Abstract: A system encodes video by detecting the location of a facial region of a frame of the video. Sensitivity information is calculated for each of a plurality of locations within the video based upon the location of the facial region. The frame is encoded in manner that provides a substantially uniform apparent quality of the plurality of locations to the viewer when the viewer is observing the facial region of the video.

  • Patent number: 7164284
    Abstract: A system for characterizing the temporal luminance response of a liquid crystal display. A liquid crystal display may be forced at an initial time from a first luminance value to a measured second luminance value. The second luminance value may be measured at a predetermined time after the initial time.

  • Patent number: 7035476
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for converting a high-resolution image to a lower-resolution image with reduced visible errors. These systems and methods comprise a sub-pixel sampling simulation performed on a high-resolution image to determine an error introduced into the high-resolution image as a result of sub-pixel sampling. This error may be isolated from the high-resolution image to create an error image which may be modified with a visual model to remove invisible errors thereby creating a visible error image. The visual error image may then be combined with said high-resolution image to create a compensated image that will substantially cancel the error introduced as a result of subsequent sub-pixel sampling when the sub-pixel sampling occurs.
