  • Patent number: 8830402
    Abstract: An image processing circuit and a method thereof are provided herein. The image processing circuit has a first scaling circuit, one or more line buffers, a first sharpness circuit, a second scaling circuit, and a second sharpness circuit. The first scaling circuit enlarges an input image along a first direction to generate a first enlarged image. The one or more line buffers temporarily store the pixel values of a plurality of pixel rows of the first enlarged image. The first sharpness circuit vertically sharpens the first enlarged image to generate a first sharpened image. The second scaling circuit enlarges the first sharpened image along a second direction to generate a second enlarged image. The second sharpness circuit horizontally sharpens the second enlarged image to generate a second sharpened image. Accordingly, it is possible to use the one or more line buffers having shorter data lengths to perform the vertical sharpening.

  • Patent number: 8712150
    Abstract: An image color processing device adapted to process a luminance data and an input chrominance data of an image includes an edge detecting unit, a chrominance filtering unit, and a chrominance mixing unit. The edge detecting unit receives the luminance data and detects whether each pixel of the image is on an edge of an image object and correspondingly assigns an edge strength to each pixel. The chrominance filtering unit receives the input chrominance data and then outputs a filtered chrominance data. The chrominance mixing unit receives the edge strength, the filtered chrominance data and the input chrominance data, and mixes the filtered chrominance data and the input chrominance data by a weighting manner, according to the edge strength, so as to obtain an output chrominance data.

  • Patent number: 8422829
    Abstract: An interpolation method and an interpolation circuit are provided. The interpolation method calculates a difference between values of a first point and a second point and calculates an absolute value of the difference. Then, the absolute value of the difference is used to mix a first function and a second function to obtain a transformation function, which is then used to calculate an interpolation value of an interpolation point between the first point and the second point. Accordingly, the present invention may obtain a result close to high order interpolation without increasing hardware expense.

  • Patent number: 8368816
    Abstract: A circuit for detecting motion pictures includes a first-stage motion picture detecting unit and a second-stage motion picture detecting unit. The first-stage motion picture detecting unit analyzes a current image frame and a previous image frame to calculate a first motion value associated with the current image frame. The second-stage motion picture detecting unit receives the first motion value, compares the first motion value against an adjusted motion value, and outputs and stores a larger one as a second motion value. The adjusted motion value is a value derived by adjusting an adjacent previous second motion value.
