no. 1 example

[0049] figure 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a first example image data processing apparatus according to the present invention. figure 1 The illustrated example apparatus 10 includes: a brightness characteristic detection circuit 1 , a correction parameter setting circuit 2 , and a display data generation circuit 3 . A luminance characteristic detection circuit 1 detects luminance characteristics of input image data. According to the luminance characteristics detected by the detection circuit 1, the correction parameter setting circuit 2 sets correction parameters. The display data generation circuit 3 corrects the input image data using the correction parameters set by the correction parameter setting circuit 2, and generates display data to be output to the display device. The correction parameter setting circuit 2 and the display data generating circuit 3 constitute a correction circuit 4 .

[0088] In the first example embodiment, the brightness characteristics or accumulated brightness values ​​of all pixel blocks are used equally in determining the brightness characteristics of the frame. That is, the accumulated luminance values ​​of all pixel blocks are compared with each other to obtain a maximum luminance value or a minimum luminance value without performing different processing on them. However, an index to be considered when comparing the luminance characteristics of pixel blocks may be set.

[0089] Figure 7 is an example block diagram showing another example embodiment of the luminance characteristic detection circuit 1 . In this example embodiment, a valid bit is set to a pixel block as an index and stored in the valid bit memory 17 . In order to use the valid bits, necessary valid bits are read from the valid bit memory 17 and stored in the valid bit register 18 . The valid bits stored in the valid bit register 18 control the maximum value register...

Abstract

The brightness characteristic detection circuit 1 divides the frame 21 into a plurality of pixel blocks 22 , detects average brightness characteristics of respective pixel blocks, and obtains the maximum or minimum brightness value of input image data from the average brightness characteristics of the pixel blocks. Correcting input image data with correction parameters set in accordance with the detected maximum or minimum brightness value generates display data. Even if a noise is incorporated in the image data, the influence of the noise is suppressed and the image data may be processed accurately.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image data processing apparatus for generating display data to be output to a display device based on image data input thereto. The invention also relates to a method for processing image data. Background technique [0002] In an image data display device, a technique of improving the contrast of a displayed image by performing gamma correction based on the APL (Average Picture Level) of an image signal is known. That is, according to the APL value, the gradation levels of the bright portion and the dark portion are corrected. [0003] For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 6-6820 (Patent Document 1) proposes a method for performing gamma correction based on the APL value by preparing a plurality of gamma correction memories for storing respective gamma correction values ​​and selecting one of the memories. A technology that improves the contrast ratio of a display device. However, since the same gamma cor...
