IMAGE PROCESSING CIRCUIT, IMAGE SIGNAL PROCESSOR INCLUDING THE SAME, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240320791 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING CIRCUIT, IMAGE SIGNAL PROCESSOR INCLUDING THE SAME, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD
The abstract describes an image processing circuit, an image signal processor, and an image processing method. The circuit includes a contents-aware circuit, a color shifting circuit, and a histogram generator.
- Contents-aware circuit classifies content for each pixel of the current image and generates a shifting value representing a color shifting effect.
- Color shifting circuit applies color shifting to each pixel of the current image based on the shifting value.
- Histogram generator generates a histogram of the current image based on the classified content, used to generate a shifting value for a subsequent image.
Potential Applications: - Image enhancement in photography and video editing - Real-time color correction in video processing - Automated image analysis in medical imaging
Problems Solved: - Efficient color shifting and enhancement of images - Automated content classification for image processing - Seamless integration of color shifting effects in real-time applications
Benefits: - Improved image quality and color accuracy - Time-saving in image processing tasks - Enhanced visual effects in multimedia content
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Processing Technology for Enhanced Visual Content This technology can be utilized in industries such as: - Entertainment (film, TV, gaming) - Medical imaging - Security and surveillance
Prior Art: Researchers can explore existing patents related to image processing circuits, color shifting algorithms, and histogram generation techniques for further insights into this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in image processing algorithms, color correction techniques, and machine learning models for image analysis to enhance the capabilities of this technology.
Questions about Image Processing Technology: 1. How does the contents-aware circuit classify content in images? 2. What are the key differences between traditional image processing methods and the color shifting approach described in this patent application?
Original Abstract Submitted
an image processing circuit, an image signal processor including the same, and an image processing method are disclosed. the image processing circuit may include a contents-aware circuit configured to receive histograms of a current image and a previous image, classify content for each pixel of the current image, and generate a shifting value representing a color shifting effect for each pixel of the current image, a color shifting circuit configured to generate an enhanced image by applying color shifting depending on the shifting value to each pixel of the current image, based on the shifting value, and a histogram generator configured to generate a histogram of the current image based on the classified content of the current image, wherein the generated histogram of the current image is used to generate a shifting value of a subsequent image.
