Abstract

A saturation conversion function (Fa) is determined from the saturation histogram of the input image, and the saturation (SAa) of each pixel of the input image is converted with reference to the determined saturation conversion function (Fa). On the other hand, a saturation conversion multiplier determination function is generated based on the histogram, and the saturation conversion multiplier determined based on the saturation conversion multiplier determination function and the saturation conversion multiplier is multiplied by the color difference. No matter what kind of saturation distribution the input image has, the saturation can be appropriately increased, and at the same time, a higher color scale performance can be obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an image processing device and method. The present invention also relates to a program for causing a computer to execute processing in the image processing apparatus and method described above, and a computer-readable recording medium on which the program is recorded. Background technique [0002] A device that processes a color image is expected to display vivid images. In order to meet this demand, methods or devices for naturally increasing the saturation of images including low-saturation portions have been proposed. [0003] For example, Patent Document 1 proposes the method of extracting the average saturation value of the input image from the color signal of the input image, and determining a saturation enhancement function according to the average saturation value to increase the saturation. [0004] In addition, conventional image display devices have a narrow color reproduction range, and the above-mentioned enhancem...
