Abstract:
Artifact reduction method and apparatus, and image processing method and apparatus are provided. The artifact reduction apparatus includes a scaling-down unit, a buffer unit, an artifact detection unit, a scaling-up unit and a filter unit. The scaling-down unit scales down a resolution of a current original image frame to obtain a current low-resolution image frame. The artifact detection unit performs an artifact detection to the current low-resolution image frame to obtain low-resolution weights in accordance with a relation of the current low-resolution image frame and a previous low-resolution image frame provided by the buffer unit. The scaling-up unit scales up a number of the low-resolution weights to obtain a high-resolution weights. By using the high-resolution weights, the filter unit performs an image processing procedure to the current original image frame for reducing artifact of the current original image frame and obtaining an adjusted image frame.

Abstract:
A color translation method and a color translation apparatus adapted to map a data point from a first color space to a second color space are provided. At least four color axes coordinating with a plurality of first reference points and a plurality of second reference points corresponding to the first reference points are used to divide the first color space and second color space into a plurality of first sub-spaces and a plurality of second sub-spaces. A target first sub-space where the data point is located is found, and then a corresponding target second sub-space is also found. According to a positional relationship between the data point and the first reference points which define the target first sub-space, an interpolation operation is applied to the second reference points which define the target second sub-space so as to obtain a mapped point in the second color space.
