Embodiment
For further understanding and understanding being arranged to feature of the present invention, purpose and function, existing conjunction with figs. is described in detail as follows:
Because the present invention mainly is according to the brightness of pixel on digitized video performance, adjusts the pairing chroma of pixel by weighting, when brightness is low, gives its lower color saturation and suppress the color noise of low-light level.And weighting scheme please refer to Fig. 1, and Fig. 1 is the flow chart of weighting in the color noise suppressing method of preferred embodiment of the present invention.At first, provide a weighting function, this weighting function is relevant with a critical luminance, and with the brightness of pixel as variable, this is a step 101.Wherein, weighting function can be the straight line equation of linearity.
Then, determine critical luminance on the coordinate at weighting function place, on behalf of this weighting function, this critical luminance have the starting point of output valve, and this is a step 102.
Therefore, by weighting function, can find out the weighted value of respective pixel brightness, with as the weighting to the pixel chroma, this is a step 103.If critical luminance represents that with Yth the brightness of pixel represents that with Yin the weighting function of straight line equation is with W (Yin) expression, weighted value represents that with A then weighting function can be expressed as:
W(Yin)=S×(Yin-Yth)=A?if?Yin>Yth
W(Yin)=0 if?Yin<=Yth
Wherein, S is equational slope.
After obtaining weighted value by weighting function, might exceed its spendable boundary, boundary that must the restriction weighted value for fear of result according to this weighted value gain pixel chroma.Also therefore, after step 103 obtains weighted value, must judge whether weighted value exceeds a weighting limits value (Wmax), this step 104 if weighted value does not surpass this weighting limits value, is then adjusted the chroma of pixel according to this weighted value, and this is a step 105; Otherwise, if weighted value surpasses this weighting limits value, then adjust the chroma of pixel according to this weighting limits value, this is a step 106.
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the coordinate schematic diagram of the weighting function work of preferred embodiment of the present invention.In Fig. 2, the pixel intensity Yin of input must be more than or equal to critical luminance (Yth), and it just has corresponding weighted value A by weighting function W (Yin).And the weighted value A that obtains by weighting function W (Yin) correspondence as the pixel intensity Yin of input is during above weighting limits value (Wmax), and then pixel intensity Yin exports with weighting limits value Wmax by the weighted value A that weighting function W (Yin) correspondence obtains.
Therefore, as shown in Figure 2, weighting function W (Yin) has corresponding weighted value A after pixel intensity Yin is more than or equal to critical luminance, and when pixel intensity Yin saw through the resulting weighted value A of weighting function W (Yin) greater than weighting limits value Wmax, weighted value then was restricted to weighting limits value Wmax.
Please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the color Noise Suppression Device of preferred embodiment of the present invention.This color Noise Suppression Device 300 mainly is to operate according to the straight line equation that Fig. 2 step 103 is proposed.This color Noise Suppression Device 300 includes weighting determination device 305, as the clamper 330 and the weighting device 307 of weighting restriction, wherein weighting determination device 305 is made up of subtracter 310 and multiplier 320, and weighting device 307 is made up of 340,350 of multipliers.
The employed critical luminance of straight line equation, slope are then decided by the critical luminance signal 360 (Yth) of 310 receptions of subtracter in the weighting determination device 305 and the slope signal 365 (S) of multiplier 320 receptions respectively.The employed weighting limits value of straight line equation is then decided by the weighting restricting signal 366 that clamper 330 receives.
Therefore, when color Noise Suppression Device 300 receives the luminance input signal 370 of representing the digitized video pixel, chroma input signal 371 (U (in)), chroma input signal 373 (V (in)), subtract each other output after can receiving brightness input 370 (Yin), critical luminance signal 360 simultaneously via subtracter 310, multiplier 320 receives the output of multiplying each other behind the output of subtracter 310 and the slope signal 365 simultaneously, to obtain representing the weighted signal 321 of luminance input signal 370 gained weighted value after Fig. 2 straight line equation.And weighted signal 321 can be subjected under the situation of weighting restricting signal 366 controls at clamper 330, and clamp output is smaller or equal to the weighted signal 325 of weighting limits value (Wmax) level (level).At last, receive weighted signal 325 and chroma input signal 371 simultaneously at multiplier 340, and receive simultaneously at multiplier 350 under the situation of weighted signal 325 and chroma input signal 373, obtain chroma output signal 381,383 after can being multiplied by weighted signal 325 respectively by chroma input signal 371,373.
And the luminance input signal 370 of digital signal pixel is behind color Noise Suppression Device 300, it is according to the chroma input signal 371,373 of luminance input signal 370 adjustment digitized video pixels, with chroma output 381 (Uout), chroma output signal 383 (Vout).Digitized video then can be adjusted the chroma of digitized video pixel by above-mentioned mechanism according to the brightness of digitized video pixel.
Please refer to Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is the comparison diagram of digitized video picture before and after color Noise Suppression Device of the present invention.The left side is the original image without color Noise Suppression Device of the present invention, and right-hand part is the picture behind the inhibition noise of color Noise Suppression Device of the present invention.Significantly,,, adjust the pairing chroma of pixel, effectively suppressed the color noise of low-light level with weighting according to the brightness performance of pixel on the digitized video by the present invention.Comprehensively above-mentioned, the present invention proposes a kind of method and device of color noise suppressed, and by the brightness according to the digitized video pixel, the pairing chroma of pixel is adjusted in weighting.Therefore, the present invention more lowly gives its lower color saturation and suppresses the color noise of low-light level in brightness, when brightness is higher and make picture that more rich color be arranged for its higher color saturation.
Certainly, the present invention also can have other various embodiments, and for example obtaining also of above-mentioned weighted value can directly be obtained by lookup table mode or other similar image mode.Under the situation that does not deviate from spirit of the present invention and essence thereof, those of ordinary skill in the art work as can make various corresponding changes and distortion according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection range of the appended claim of the present invention.
