  • Patent number: 11915392
    Abstract: An image enhancement method includes: acquiring an image in a YUV format (110); performing N max layers of wavelet decomposition on a brightness component and chrominance components respectively (120); starting from the (N max)th layer, performing wavelet reconstruction on the low frequency sub-bands of the chrominance components of each layer on which edge preserving filtering has been performed according to the low frequency sub-band of the brightness component of the corresponding layer, and the high frequency sub-bands of the chrominance components continuously towards an upper layer until an image of an original size is obtained (130); performing, according to the brightness component, edge preserving filtering on the chrominance components that have been subjected to the wavelet reconstruction (140); integrating the chrominance components that have been subjected to the edge preserving filtering and the brightness component (150).

  • Publication number: 20230370038
    Abstract: A low-voltage high-speed programmable equalization circuit includes a gain boosting amplifier stage, a CML differential amplifier stage, and an emitter follower. An input terminal of the gain boosting amplifier stage serves as an input terminal of the equalization circuit. An output terminal of the gain boosting amplifier stage is connected to an input terminal of the CML differential amplifier stage. An output terminal of the CML differential amplifier stage is connected to an input terminal of the emitter follower. An output terminal of the emitter follower serves as an output terminal of the equalization circuit.

  • Patent number: 11146426
    Abstract: A balancing circuit which may compensate for bandwidth attenuation introduced by interference between signals includes an amplifying circuit, a rising edge detection circuit and/or a falling edge detection circuit. By means of detecting the rising/falling edge of an original signal, the resulting pulse signal contains the phase information of a single “0” bit and a single “1” bit in the original signal, thus the phase of a rising edge or the phase of a falling edge of the original signal may be compensated respectively, so as to compensate for the high-frequency attenuation caused by interference between signals.
