The image processing method for color correction comprises the steps of: (a) determining an angle on a color space according to an image data of a basic color, (b) determining a first straight line on the color space according to the angle, (c) determining a second straight line on the color space according to an image data of a pixel, wherein the second straight line is parallel to the first straight line, (d) calculating a distance between the second straight line and the first straight line in order to obtain a color intensity difference value, (e) correcting the image data of the pixel according to the color intensity difference.

Abstract: A data compression apparatus and a method thereof are provided. In the present invention, a processing unit is used for sequentially transforming a plurality of spatial domain data of a macro block into a plurality of coefficient data according to a coding sequence. Then, an entropy coder is used for sequentially coding the coefficient data according to the same coding sequence. Thereby, the processing unit and the entropy coder operate in parallel so that the operation waiting time is reduced and accordingly the operation speed is increased.

Abstract: An image processing method is provided. According to the present method, the formulas of the prediction modes of a 4*4 block in intra frame prediction are expanded and applied to 4*4 blocks or 8*8 blocks in a 16*16 block. The prediction modes of the 4*4 blocks or 8*8 blocks in the 16*16 block are determined within one pass, or the prediction modes of the 8*8 blocks in the 16*16 block are determined within three passes. Accordingly, the operation of determining the prediction mode of each 4*4 block is saved, and the time for processing intra frame prediction of the 4*4 blocks is effectively reduced. Eventually, the efficiency of image processing is improved.

Abstract: The invention provides signal synchronization systems. The signal synchronization system comprises a plurality of synchronization units and a control unit. The synchronization units each correspond to one transmitting device for accurately transmitting the transmitted data from the transmitting devices to the control unit. The control unit generates a system clock and a data selection signal according to the amount of the transmitting devices. The system clock has to be fast enough to be capable of receiving data from all transmitting devices. The transmitted data is transmitted to the control unit according to the order shown in the data selection signal. The control unit integrates the received data in a single signal named system data signal and further generates a data selection signal to designate a plurality of receiving devices to receive the data in the system data signal.

Abstract: A synchronous image-switching device and switching method thereof are provided. The synchronous image-switching device comprises an image filter for generating target image data according to the frequency of a first clocking signal, a buffer for holding the target image and an image output control device for outputting the target image according to the frequency of a second clocking signal. Because the synchronous switching device of the present invention allows the clocking frequency of the source image to be different from that of the target image, images can be switched synchronously and power consumption of the switching operation can be reduced.
