Original Abstract Submitted
some embodiments relate to sharpening segments of an image differently based on content in the image. content based sharpening is performed by a content image processing circuit that receives luminance values of an image and a content map. the content map identifies categories of content in segments of the image. based on one or more of the identified categories of content, the circuit determines a content factor associated with a pixel. the content factor may also be based on a texture and/or chroma values. a texture value indicates a likelihood of a category of content and is based on detected edges in the image. a chroma value indicates a likelihood of a category of content and is based on color information of the image. the circuit receives the content factor and applies it to a version of the luminance value of the pixel to generate a sharpened version of the luminance value.
