Provided are an image brightness controlling apparatus and method, and an adaptive brightness controlling apparatus and method based on the brightness degree and/or brightness range of an image. The image brightness controlling apparatus includes a brightness increment arithmetic unit for outputting a brightness increment for a pixel, and an individual component brightness increment arithmetic unit for outputting the brightness increments of individual components constituting the pixel in response to the brightness increment for a pixel. The individual component brightness increment arithmetic unit multiplies the brightness increment of the pixel by each of the unit vectors of the components constituting the pixel to obtain the brightness increments of the individual components. The image brightness controlling apparatus further includes an adder for adding the components constituting the pixel to the brightness increments of the components. The image brightness controlling apparatus and the adaptive image brightness controlling apparatus can maintain the sense of color of an image (e.g., the hue or chroma of an image) while increasing the brightness degree and brightness range of an image.

A method and apparatus for an image adaptive color adjustment of pixels in a color gamut is disclosed. The method includes calculating a representative value that shows color characteristics of pixels included in a color gamut, calculating a final target color required to convert the representative value to approach a reference target point existing in the color gamut, and converting the pixels included in the color gamut to approach the final target color. The apparatus includes a color gamut boundary storage module; a reference target point storage module; a target color determination module which calculates a representative value that shows color characteristics of pixels included in a color gamut and calculates a final target color required to convert the representative value to approach the reference target point; and a color conversion module which converts the pixels included in the color gamut to approach the final target color.

The resolution-converting method comprises steps of applying an edge-directed interpolation to an input image and producing an intermediate image; converting a sampling rate with respect to the intermediate image and producing an output image having a predetermined resolution; and improving sharpness of the produced output image. The present invention prevents image-quality degradation factors that can occur in the conventional resolution-converting method as well as obtains an output image having a resolution of a desired size.
