In an image processing apparatus processing digitized image data taken by a digital camera, or the like, an image focused on an image pickup device is divided into a plurality of rectangular regions. A value of the lightness with respect to each rectangular region and a distribution of the color saturation are calculated by using image data. The scene of the image is judged whether it is backlighted or not by using a number of the rectangular regions having the value of the lightness equal to or larger than a threshold value. When the scene is judged as the backlight scene, it is further judged whether it is actually backlighted or not by using the distribution of the color saturation.

A system and related techniques generate and present a set of linked, dynamically interactive image processing controls for image editing and optimization tasks. In embodiments a user interface may present a set of global editing modes such as color manipulation, exposure correction or others. Each mode may contain a hierarchical set of basic, intermediate and advanced controls such as one-button automatic fixes, color or saturation sliders or editable histograms or other curves. When a user wishes, for instance, to achieve a warmer color balance or perform other color-correction tasks, the system may automatically detect adjustments in one or more parameters, such as CMYK values, and automatically adjust the values of other parameters to enhance the intended correction or action. For instance when the magenta content on a CMYK slider is increased, the color saturation may be slightly increased or color temperature may be slightly raised, to create a warmer appearance in the color cast of the image. Other combinations of image parameters may be linked. According to embodiments, a set of editable curves such as histograms or gamma curves may be dragged or otherwise adjusted or manipulated by users, and saved for re-application to other images or at other times.

A method of producing a color image using a display comprised of pixels comprising red, green and blue primary color subpixels. The method comprises reducing the color gamut and increasing the brightness of the image relative to a base level, decreasing power to the display to reduce the brightness of the image, restoring color to the image to approximately the base level by modifying image pixel data using a three-dimensional lookup table to produce output image pixel data, and communicating the output image pixel data to the display. The display may be an LCD display, an LED display, an OLED display, a plasma display, and a DMD projector. Reducing the color gamut and increasing the brightness of the image may be accomplished by adding white to the image. The white may be added adaptively according to an algorithm by which the amount of white added decreases with increasing color saturation.

A video display apparatus generates luminance information for individual frames of a video signal from histograms of the luminance component of the video signal, and classifies the content of the video signal on the basis of this information. Color saturation information is also generated from color saturation histograms, and scene changes are detected. Video correction parameters and display control parameters are derived from the content classification and color saturation information. The video signal is corrected according to the video correction parameters, and displayed according to the display control parameters. Display characteristics suitable for the video content are thereby obtained. The parameters are changed when a scene change is detected, so that the viewer is not disturbed by the change in video display characteristics.

An image mixing apparatus and a pixel mixer capable of mixing image data items having different pixel resolutions, and mixing image data items in an arbitrary display priority, irrespective of the order of mixing, even if the order of mixing is determined in advance is provided. Of two pixel data items having depth values “Zc” and “Zb”, one pixel data item having the depth value indicating that the pixel is located in a foreground position is selected by a pixel selection determination circuit 110. However, if a pixel data item has a hue indicating that the pixel is transparent, such a pixel data item is not selected but another pixel data item is selected instead.

Since pixel data items are input to the multiplexer 112 to 116 at different output rates, it is possible to mix images having different pixel resolutions.

Thereafter, an output signal generating section obtains a transmissivity and a backlight value on the basis of the second RGB input signal.

The invention discloses a method for detecting fire disaster smog by video on the basis of color saturation and motion mode, which comprises the following steps: firstly, extracting a foreground motion block from a video image acquired by a monitoring camera through a difference method; secondly, detecting the color saturation of the foreground motion block, estimating the direction of the motion block, and calculating the cumulant and the main moving direction of the motion block; and thirdly, calculating the color saturation detection percentage of each region, the average cumulant and the main moving direction ratio to form a characteristic vector, and adopting a Bayesian classifier to judge whether the smog is the fire disaster smog. The detection of the color saturation reflects a rough color distribution of the smog and eliminates a large amount of foreground interfering objects with glowing colors. The color detection in a blocking mode further improves the anti-interference performance of a system. The cumulant shows the characteristic of continuous movement nearby a smoldering point of the smog, and has very good anti-interference performance for a non-reciprocating object. The comprehensive utilization of the color saturation detection percentage, the average cumulant and the main movement ratio can greatly reduce the rate of false alarm for the system.
