摘要:
A color conversion apparatus receives first image data including first red-green-blue color data in which the possible values of the red, green, and blue components extend beyond the range from 0% to 100%. The first color data are analyzed into first hue region data, the magnitudes of which are adjusted according to the brightness and/or saturation of the first color data to obtain second and third hue region data. The gamut of colors of the first image data is detected, and matrix coefficients are generated according to the detected gamut. The matrix coefficients are used to perform a matrix operation on the second and third hue region data to obtain second color data, thereby converting the first image data to second image data with conversion characteristics appropriate for the gamut of colors of the first image data.

An image processing apparatus enhances contrast without producing color balance distortion or color collapse by generating a gradation-scale correction table from a distribution of a characteristic quantity of an input image signal, using the gradation-scale correction table to derive a gradation correction parameter for each pixel from a maximum component value of the pixel, and multiplying all components of the pixel by the gradation correction parameter.

An image data processing apparatus receives trichromatic image data with values expressing red, green, and blue and generates information indicating the gamut of colors of the image data. The gamut information is obtained from maximum and minimum values, or values equivalent to the maximum and minimum values, pertaining to different color components during a prescribed time interval, and indicates the actual gamut of colors that appear during the prescribed time interval. The gamut information is appended to the image data, or output separately from the image data, for use in subsequent image processing.

A field-sequential display apparatus having a light source that emits light of different colors in different subframes of an image controls the spectral distribution of the light emitted in each subframe according to characteristics of the input image data, or to ambient conditions or other user-specified conditions. The input image data are processed so that image colors are displayed correctly despite changes in the spectral distribution of the light-source colors. This scheme enables the gamut of reproducible colors to be altered from frame to frame to provide an appropriate balance between brightness and color saturation in each frame, and to compensate for ambient lighting conditions.

A conventional color conversion apparatus was associated with a problem of generation of an achromatic component and reduction in the luminance.A color conversion apparatus according to the present invention generates new color data corresponding to color red of red, green and blue by means of matrix calculation using a first calculation term which is effective for just one of the hues of red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, magenta and yellow, and a second calculation term which is calculated from the first calculation term and which is effective for a predetermined inter-hue region included in at least one of inter-hue zones of red-yellow, yellow-green, green-cyan, cyan-magenta, and magenta-red, so that color conversion can be achieved without generation of an unnecessary achromatic component or reduction in the luminance.
摘要:
Responsive to image data of three colors, six hue data are obtained, and then first comparison-result data and second-order terms each relating to one of the six hues, and second comparison-result data each relating to one of the six inter-hue areas are obtained. Matrix calculation is performed on the first comparison-result data, the second comparison-result data, and the second-order terms, using coefficients. By varying the coefficients, adjustment can be made to only the target hue or inter-hue area, without affecting other hues and inter-hue areas. Thus, the six hues and six inter-hue areas can be varied independently, and the large-capacity memory is not required. In addition, gray scale conversion is applied to the result of the matrix calculation, so as to compensate for the non-linearity of the output device.

In an image display device for receiving and displaying image data, color converter converts the image data on the basis of conversion characteristics data stored in a conversion characteristics storage. The conversion characteristics designation means including means for designating the hue of the colors outputs the conversion characteristics designation data, and conversion characteristics setting means calculates the conversion characteristics data on the basis of the conversion characteristics designation data, and sets the conversion characteristics data in the conversion characteristics storage. The color converter comprises a calculation term generator for receiving the first image data, and outputting calculation terms which are effective just for the specific hues; and a matrix calculator performing matrix calculation using the calculation terms effective just for the specific hues. The user can adjust just the hue of the desired color. Real-time processing of moving pictures can be achieved without placing a heavy load on a CPU. The image after the adjustment can be displayed on a real-time basis.

In a color conversion characteristic determining method for use with an image display device in which image data is converted on a pixel-by-pixel basis, referring to the color conversion characteristic, and the color-converted image is displayed, a color conversion characteristic candidate is set, and color-converted data are predicted by using input image data, and then tristimulus values of the displayed colors are predicted, and the results are evaluated to judge whether the color conversion characteristic satisfies the requirement. It is possible to make the color conversion characteristic to obtain color reproduction closer to the ideal color reproduction according to a standard, and the color conversion characteristic can be determined in a short time.

摘要:
A block noise detector has a spatial difference calculator that calculates differences between values of adjacent pixels. A spatial difference comparator detects edges by comparing the calculated differences. Eight counters count edges detected at different groups of positions spaced eight pixels apart in each horizontal line. The maximum count and the group of positions at which it occurs are detected at the end of each horizontal line to detect block noise and the positions of the block boundaries. The block noise detector is small in size because it only has to count edges in one line at a time, and detects edges accurately by comparing the difference at a given position separately with differences to the left and differences to the right.
