  • Method and circuit for adaptively enhancing contour components of a luminance signal
    Patent number: 6148116
    Abstract: A contour enhancement method and circuit for adaptively enhancing a contour component of a luminance signal. In the method, a coring operation is performed with respect to the contour component. For the coring operation, a coring value is used which is adjusted according to characteristics of the contour component detected from an input luminance signal. The cored contour component is amplified by a predetermined gain, and the level of the gain-controlled contour component is limited to a predetermined threshold value to output a level-limited contour component. The level-limited contour component is then added to the input luminance signal to become a contour-enhanced luminance signal.
