Abstract: A color image enhancement apparatus has a color attribute interpreter and a color attribute adjuster. The color attribute interpreter generates an adjust signal according to a Hue, a Saturation and a Brightness of a pixel data. Of the adjust signal, each adjustment for each of the Hue, the Saturation and the Brightness is determined by all of the Hue, the Saturation and the Brightness of the pixel data. The color attribute adjuster is connected to the color attribute interpreter. The color attribute adjuster receives the adjust signal and adjusts the transformed color attribute according to the adjust signal.

Abstract: A processor and a related method for adjusting color attributes of pixels are introduced. The method includes examining color attributes of pixels within a range in an image, examining color attributes of a first number of pixels around a first pixel when color attributes of the first pixel conform to a predetermined range, and adjusting the color attributes of the first pixel according to a predetermined rule when color attributes of a second number of pixels among the first number of pixels conform to the predetermined range. The claimed method differentiates the correct image signals from the noise by examining color attributes of surrounding pixels, and only applies adjustment to the correct image signals, avoiding making unnecessary adjustments to the noise signals.
