Definitions
- This invention relates to perceived image quality, and more particularly to improving perceived image color quality in television or other video displays.
- any enhancement to image quality of a wider color gamut comes from the distortion or stretching of video data, and not from a more accurate representation of color data.
- an increase in overall color saturation improves the perception of video images.
- studio or post-production of video material typically makes use of color saturation boost.
- Saturation control is also included at the display level. The user may set the saturation level of the display and the default position is chosen by the maker to give the most pleasing image to the average viewer. It would be desirable to enhance the video image through processing of the video signal, without requiring a hardware change of the basic display.
- a method for enhancing a video image includes inputting a video signal and shifting hue of the signal to be closer to a secondary color.
- a method for enhancing a video image includes inputting video signals representative of the image and increasing color saturation of the video signals as a function of proximity of their hue to a secondary color.
- a method for enhancing a video image includes inputting video signals representative of the image and increasing lightness of the video signals as a function of proximity of their hue to a secondary color.
- Fig. 1 is a plot of the boosted saturation signal as a function of the input hue and saturation values according to an example embodiment of the invention
- Fig. 2 is a plot of the hue enhancement function in an expansion of the secondary color regions in an example embodiment of the invention. From experiments with a multi-primary display, the most notable enhancements come from the ability to display saturated and strong cyan and yellow colors. Based on these subjective observations, it is desirable to boost the image when data calls for a color in these regions.
- a boost in the magenta area may also be beneficial.
- one method of implementing the invention is to examine the incoming signal for the desired color and to enhance the secondary color regions of cyan, magenta, and yellow. However, if the color falls near the primary colors of red, green, and blue, no enhancement is applied.
- the image will be examined with regard to hue, lightness, and saturation (HLS).
- the signal may be converted from RGB (red, green, blue) to HLS.
- the signal may be converted from other common formats, such as YCC, YUV to an equivalent HLS space.
- the lightness and saturation scales are normalized between 0 and 1, and the hue signal is between 0 and 360, where 0 is red, 120 is green, and 240 is blue.
- One method of enhancing the secondary colors of the image is to process the video signal so that when the hue signal falls near a secondary color (as opposed to a primary color), the saturation of the color is increased. Conversely when the hue signal is near a primary color there is no change applied to the data.
- the saturation function is shown below in Fig. 1.
- a flat plane would represent no change in signal.
- the enhancement to lightness is not as strong as the boost to the saturation signal.
- FIG. 2 A plot of this hue enhancement function is shown in Fig. 2.
- the functions given above are examples.
- the actual boosts would be determined by a greater examination of the perceived impact on the picture. Coefficients would be tuned by perception studies.
- the functions can be changed as long as the aim of boost near the secondary color regions is maintained. Functions more compatible with fixed point processing of video data may likely be substituted.
- the algorithm should create little change where flesh tones are shown.
- the algorithm may also be changed to reduce the change in the red/orange regions.
- the width and magnitude of the boost functions could be tailored differently in the three areas of cyan, magenta, and yellow. Any one, or a combination of more than one of these methods may be used. They may be applied for enhancing only one, or more secondary colors.
