Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting image color saturation and a method for adjusting a saturation level of an original image data are provided. The image color saturation apparatus includes a first color over-saturation level calculating unit, a parameter adjusting unit, a saturation adjusting unit and a second color over-saturation level calculating unit. The apparatus for adjusting image color saturation detects the number of over-saturation pixels in an input image according to a predefined over-saturation area, and the number of over-saturation pixels in an adjusted output image. Thus, the parameter adjusting unit can dynamically adjust a saturation gain to maintain the frame consistency according to the number of the over-saturation pixels.

Abstract: A method of adjusting write power in an optical drive system is disclosed. During the writing process, the invention monitors symmetry or ? values of RF signals in real time to adjust the optimum write power dynamically, therefore maintaining the best quality of the disk writing.

Abstract: A method of scaling up an image. The method converts a source image with M*N pixels into a target image with KM*HN pixels and includes the steps of: choosing a pixel from the source image as a processing pixel; analyzing the character of the processing pixel according to values of a plurality of pixels neighboring the processing pixel, and choosing a tilt pattern as a characteristic pattern; calculating a pixel compensation matrix according to the characteristic pattern, the pixel value of the processing pixel, and the values of the pixels neighboring the processing pixel; calculating K*H target pixel values as the target image according to the pixel value of the processing pixel and its corresponding pixel compensation matrix; and repeating the above-mentioned steps until all the pixels of the source image are processed.
