Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for detecting and removing a false contour, a method and an apparatus for verifying whether a pixel is included in a contour, and a method and an apparatus for calculating simplicity are provided. The method for detecting and removing the false contour includes: verifying whether a pixel of an input video is included in a contour; calculating simplicity of the pixel; determining whether the pixel is included in a false contour based on the simplicity and based on whether the pixel is included in the contour; and removing the false contour from the input video via smoothing with respect to the false contour.
Abstract:
An image processing method for reducing a power consumption. The image processing method may reduce the power consumption by classifying an input content into a conversion target region and a preservation target region and by converting a luminance of pixels included in the conversion target region. Also, the image processing method may effectively perform a luminance conversion for pixels by separating the input content into the conversion target region and the preservation target region based on a luminance of the pixels of the input content. The image processing method may convert the luminance of the pixels of the conversion target region to maintain a contrast between text pixels and background pixels.
Abstract:
A reflective display panel is provided. The reflective display panel includes a liquid crystal layer, an upper substrate including a color filter and a transparent substrate, and a lower substrate including an absorption plate which faces a color filter and a reflection plate which faces a transparent substrate. The absorption plate absorbs a first external light, having penetrated the liquid crystal layer via the color filter, when a first voltage is supplied between the color filter and the absorption plate, and the reflection plate reflects a second external light, having penetrated the liquid crystal layer via the transparent substrate, when a second voltage is supplied.

Abstract:
A low-power driving apparatus and method are provided. The low-power driving apparatus includes an illuminance-sensing module to sense illuminance, a minimum-perceivable-brightness-determination module to determine a minimum perceivable brightness having non-linear characteristics corresponding to the sensed illuminance, a driving-power-level-determination module to determine a power level based on the determined minimum perceivable brightness, and a driving module to display an image input according to the determined driving power level.
Abstract:
An image processing method, medium, and system. The image processing method includes classifying an input image into predetermined image categories based on a feature of a brightness histogram of the input image, and adjusting a brightness of the input image based on grayscale functions corresponding to the image categories and positions of pixels making up the input image.

Abstract:
Provided is an image processing apparatus. In the case of a multi-view image, the image processing apparatus may warp a color image and/or a depth image of a reference view to correspond to a target view. An occlusion region may be extracted by comparing the warped color image and/or depth image of the reference view with a color image and/or a depth image of the target view. The image processing apparatus may encode the extracted occlusion region information without loss, and decrease an amount of data in the multi-view image.
