Abstract: An image data processing system is disclosed which includes an image data receiving element, e.g., a CCD module, for receiving and converting a plurality of image data into electrical signals. The image data processing system further includes a color processing subsystem which includes the color separation unit, the RGB generation unit, the white balance control unit, the gamma correction unit, and the color space converter, for processing the electrical signals for generating color display output representing the color space of the image data. The image data processing system further includes a luminance processing units which includes two 1-H line memory units, the low pass filter, the edge enhancement unit, the summing circuit and the gamma correction unit, for filtering and processing the electrical signals for generating luminance output representing the luminance field of the image data.
