    摘要: In an image data including tone information, a level of an attentional picture element in an image and a level of an adjacent picture element located adjacent to the attentional picture element are smoothed to create a first substitution level, and by internally dividing the level of the attentional picture element and the first substitution level with a predetermined internal division ratio to obtain a second substitution level which finally substitutes the level of the attentional picture element.

    摘要: A level difference of an upper pixel on an upper scanning line placed over an attentional pixel and a lower pixel on a lower scanning line placed under the attentional pixel, a level difference of the upper pixel and a lower left pixel, a level difference of the upper pixel and a lower right pixel, and a level difference of the lower pixel and an upper left pixel and a level difference of the lower pixel and an upper right pixel are derived. These level differences are compared with each other, and a line having a smallest level difference is detected and an effective interpolation line information is generated. Moreover, the level difference of the upper pixel and lower pixel is compared with the level difference of the upper right pixel and lower left pixel, and a smaller is set as a first interpolation line. In a similar manner, a second interpolation line is derived, and an ultimate interpolation line is selected from the first interpolation line, the second interpolation line and a line connecting the upper pixel and lower pixel on the basis of the effective interpolation line information.

    摘要: Luminance data Y(1) (i=1,2, - - - ,n, - - - ) are input one by one to a detecting unit, and luminance correlation information R(i-1,i) denoting a luminance correlation or a luminance non-correlation between the luminance data Y(i) and Y(i-1) are generated. Four pieces of luminance correlation information R(n-1,n) to R(n+2,n+3) are stored in a filter controlling unit. Also, chrominance data C(i) are input one by one to a starting-stage chrominance data generating unit, and starting-stage chrominance data C1(n+2) is generated from the chrominance data C(n+1), C(n+2) and C(n+3) according to the luminance correlation information R(n+1,n+2) and R(n+2,n+3). other starting-stage chrominance data C1(n) and C(n+1) are generated in advance in the same manner. Second-stage chrominance data C2(n+1) is generated from the starting-stage chrominance data C(n), C(n+1) and C(n+2) in a second-stage chrominance data generating unit according to the luminance correlation information R(n,n+1) and R(n+1,n+2). Also, other second-stage chrominance data C2(n-1) and C2(n) are generated in advance in the same manner. Smoothed chrominance data C3(n) is generated from the second-stage chrominance data C(n-1), C(n) and C(n+1) in a final-stage chrominance data generating unit according to the luminance correlation information R(n-1,n) and R(n,n+1). Therefore, each of smoothed chrominance data C3(i) can be generated with a limited number of memories at a high speed.

    摘要: In an image processing method for correcting a target pixel using emphasizing and smoothing components, a microcomputer stores the input image signal into an image memory, and generates the enhancement coefficient k data in the enhancement coefficient table memory using a function with an input/output characteristic whereby the output is a simple increasing value when the input is approximately zero. Using a first difference, which is the difference of the target pixel signal minus the signal of the reference pixel positioned on a first direction, the enhancement coefficient k is obtained by referencing the enhancement coefficient table, and the target pixel is enhanced proportionally to the enhancement coefficient k and the first difference. The target pixel is also gradated or smoothed in proportion to the enhancement coefficient k and the second difference, which is the target pixel signal minus the average of the signals of the second and third reference pixels, which are the reference pixels in the directions perpendicular to the first direction and on opposite sides of the target pixel. The target pixel signal is corrected by repeating this process for each of the reference pixels positioned on the four directions surrounding the target pixel, and the corrected image signal is stored to the image memory. The enhanced image signal is obtained by repeating this process for all input image signals.

    摘要: An apparatus for printing video images is disclosed. First the percentage of backlighting or people in the image is detected. That is, the probability of the presence of backlighting or people is detected. Then, the density gradation table is modified based on the detection result, and the presence of backlighting or the presence of people in the image is evaluated based on optical information, to select the best density gradation table from among plural density gradation tables, or to synthesize the best density gradation table. A luminance table is generated using the optimized density gradation table, and gradation correction of the image is then accomplished using that luminance table.
