  • Patent number: 9036087
    Abstract: A device for image processing includes a video signal receiver, for receiving at least one video signal, wherein an image frame of the at least one video signal includes: a plurality of pixel groups; a color engine; and an output stage, coupled to the color engine, for outputting the adjusted at least one video signal. The color engine includes: a local adjusting unit, configured to locally adjust at least one of color hue, luminance factor and saturation of a specific pixel group of the pixel groups without adjusting any other pixel group of the pixel groups, wherein the specific pixel group has color hue in a predetermined range that is a part of a full range of color hue; and a global adjusting unit, configured to globally adjust at least one of color hue, luminance factor and saturation of each of the pixels of the image frame.

    Abstract: An image processing method, an anti-saturation method for image data and an image processing device are provided. The image processing method includes: analyzing an image frame to obtain an original gain value corresponding to grayscale values of the image frame, wherein the original gain value is greater than 1; obtaining a lookup table recording conversion relationship between default grayscale values and default gain values, wherein the lookup table is used for performing anti-saturation processing on image data of the image frame; according to the original gain value, performing anti-saturation processing for the image frame by using the lookup table to obtain an adjusted conversion relationship of the image frame, wherein the adjusted conversion relationship defines a conversion relationship between different grayscale values of the image frame and corresponding adjusted gain values; and performing gain processing on image data of the image frame according to the adjusted conversion relationship.
