1Strength

If auto contrast enhancement is applied to enhance image contrast, then contrast is improved, but color saturation decreases due to brightness changes

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovecontrastVSAvoidcolor saturation
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent dynamically adjusts the saturation adjustment parameter based on the brightness distribution characteristics of the image. When brightness is enhanced through ACE, the system detects this change and automatically modifies the saturation parameter to compensate for the resulting color desaturation, thereby maintaining optimal color saturation while preserving contrast enhancement benefits

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by analyzing the brightness distribution after ACE processing and using this information to adjust saturation parameters. The brightness statistic result serves as feedback that triggers appropriate saturation compensation, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains image quality

Inventive Principle:
