  • Patent number: 8867833
    Abstract: An image processing method is adapted for color enhancement of an original image pixel. The original image pixel is composed of a plurality of pixel components each having a component value. The image processing method includes: determining a hue region to which the original image pixel belongs based directly on the component values of the pixel components thereof; selecting a color enhancement parameter corresponding to the determined hue region; and obtaining a color enhanced pixel according to the selected color enhancement parameter and the component values of the pixel components of the original image pixel.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140270515
    Abstract: An image processing method is adapted for hue adjustment of an original image pixel. The original image pixel is composed of a plurality of pixel components each having a component value. The image processing method includes: determining a hue zone to which the original image pixel belongs based directly on the component values of the pixel components thereof; obtaining a shifted hue zone according to a predefined hue shift amount, the determined hue zone, and the component values of the pixel components of the original image pixel; and obtaining a hue shifted pixel according to the obtained shifted hue zone, and the component values of the pixel components of the original image pixel.

  • Patent number: 8284316
    Abstract: A real-time image processing circuit includes: a first converting unit for converting an input image frame into hue data, first saturation data and first luminance data; a saturation processing unit operable to adjust the first saturation data based on saturation mapping information to generate second saturation data corresponding to the input image frame and having a saturation distribution range larger than that of the first saturation data; a luminance processing unit operable to adjust the first luminance data based on luminance mapping information to generate second luminance data corresponding to the input image frame and having a luminance distribution range larger than that of the first luminance data; and a second converting unit for converting the hue data, the second saturation data and the second luminance data into an output image frame corresponding to the input image frame and outputting the output image frame.

  • Patent number: 7782287
    Abstract: A data accessing interface between memory and source in LCD display IC includes a multiplex output module and a sequential input module. Suppose a row width of the memory is N bit. The multiplex output module is for outputting a row N-bit digital data. The multiplex output module includes a buffer for receiving the row N-bit digital data from the memory; and a multiplex unit for continuously selecting M bits from the N bit digital data to output to source. After N/M times, all of the row N bit digital data will be output to source. The sequential input module includes N latches and N/M latch control signals; when each latch control signal is active, it will latch M bit digital data from the multiplex output into M latches. After N/M latch control signals are active sequentially, the N bit digital data are stored into the N latches for source.
