Embodiment
Reach technological means and the effect that predetermined goal of the invention is taked for further setting forth the present invention, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and preferred embodiment, treatment system and its embodiment of method, structure, step, feature and the effect thereof of the image edge that foundation the present invention is proposed, describe in detail as after.
Figure 1A is the block diagram of image edge (edge) treatment system of the embodiment of the invention, it belongs to a kind of image reprocessing (post processing), applicable to, but be not limited to, camera head (for example digital camera or digital code camera) is in order to the smoothing image edge and reduce image incidental information (for example jagged edges noise).Fig. 2 A is the flow chart of the image edge processing method of the embodiment of the invention.In the embodiment of the invention, the image edge treatment system mainly comprises: boundary filter (edge filter) 10, edge-smoothingization (edge-smoothing) filter 12 and adder 14.
Above-mentioned boundary filter 10 receives and handles input image Y, to produce edge data (step 21).The input image Y of present embodiment only is luminosity (luminance) composition of image, is designated hereinafter simply as the input image.In the present embodiment, boundary filter 10 is high pass filter (high-passfilter), and it allows the radio-frequency component of input image Y pass through, but the low-frequency component of decay input image Y.High pass space filtering (high-pass spatial filtering) uses a high-pass filtering matrix as shade (mask) usually, and with the coefficient of matrix as weight (weighting), in order to each pixel and neighbor pixel thereof are computed weighted.
Above-mentioned edge-smoothing filter 12 is handled the edge data that is produced, to produce smoothing edge data (step 22).The edge-smoothing filter 12 of present embodiment mainly has two functions: the filtering image incidental information also keeps (preserve) image edge.Compared to traditional smoothing filter (for example, low pass filter in order to filtering noise information), but the edge-smoothing filter 12 of present embodiment also can keep the image edge data of feedback from boundary filter 10 except filtering noise information, makes the more smoothing of edge data by this.In the present embodiment, edge-smoothing filter 12 is band pass filter (band-pass filter), in order to filtering image extremely high frequency composition and extremely low frequency composition, that is makes way between the two that the signal of video signal of frequency band passes through.In other words, band pass filter passes through by the relevant pre-set frequency band composition of edge data, and all the other band component beyond the decay edge data.In a preferred embodiment, edge-smoothing filter 12 is to use, but is not limited to, two-way (bilateral) filtering technique.Implementation detail about the bidirectional filtering technology, can be with reference to " the Bilateral Filtering for Gray and Color Images " of people such as C.Tomasi exposure, Proceedings of 1998IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision, Bombay, India.
In the present embodiment, also can use multiplier (-icator) 16, it is coupled to after the edge-smoothing filter 12, in order to provide gain to smoothing edge data (step 23).At last, the smoothing edge data after will gaining with adder 14 adds to input image Y, to produce the image output Y ' (step 24) of edge-smoothingization.Compared to input image Y, the image output Y ' of edge-smoothingization can reduce image edge noise (the edge noise that for example make a video recording bad or bad image pre-treatment are caused), make image edge reach smoothing, promote definition and the sharpness of human eye, thereby promote image quality image.
Figure 1B is the block diagram of the image edge treatment system of another embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 2 B is the flow chart of the image edge processing method of another embodiment of the present invention.The framework of present embodiment and last embodiment (Figure 1A) is similar, and different places are: the multiplier (-icator) 16 of present embodiment is to be coupled to after the boundary filter 10, but is positioned at before the edge-smoothing filter 12, in order to provide gain to the edge data.Therefore, present embodiment elder generation execution in step 23 is to provide gain, and execution in step 22 is with filtering image incidental information and reservation image edge again.
Fig. 1 C is the block diagram of the picture edge treated system of further embodiment of this invention, and Fig. 2 C is the flow chart of the image edge processing method of further embodiment of this invention.The framework of present embodiment and embodiment before (Figure 1A or Figure 1B) is similar, different places are: present embodiment has two edge-smoothing filters: the first edge-smoothing filter 12A and the second edge-smoothing filter 12B, it reaches after the multiplier (-icator) 16 before being respectively coupled to multiplier (-icator) 16.In other words, multiplier (-icator) 16 is to be coupled between the first/the second edge-smoothing filter 12A/12B, in order to the smoothing edge data of gain to the first edge-smoothing filter 12A to be provided.Therefore, present embodiment is in providing gain (step 23) before, the execution in step 22A of elder generation is carrying out filtering first time image incidental information and to keep image edge, and in providing gain (step 23) afterwards, execution in step 22B is to carry out filtering second time image incidental information and reservation image edge again.
In one embodiment, above-mentioned multiplier (-icator) 16 is a kind of adaptive (adaptive) multiplier (-icator), and its yield value that offers each edge data (Figure 1A) or smoothing edge data (Figure 1B or Fig. 1 C) is not necessarily identical.The adaptive of multiplier (-icator) can use tables look-up that (lookup table LUT) implements, in order to store default non-same gain value.
In another embodiment, after multiplier (-icator) 16, also can couple a limiter (limiter), in order to the data behind the limiting gain between a peak and a minimum.Fig. 3 is the block diagram with respect to the image edge treatment system of Figure 1A, but additionally couple a limiter 18 after multiplier (-icator) 16, in order to the smoothing edge data behind the limiting gain between peak and minimum.Figure 1B and Fig. 1 C also can additionally couple a limiter 18 according to same principle, and its system architecture thereby omission do not demonstrate.
The above, it only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, be not that the present invention is done any pro forma restriction, though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment, yet be not in order to limit the present invention, any those skilled in the art, in not breaking away from the technical solution of the present invention scope, when the method that can utilize above-mentioned announcement and technology contents are made a little change or be modified to the equivalent embodiment of equivalent variations, in every case be the content that does not break away from technical solution of the present invention, according to technical spirit of the present invention to any simple modification that above embodiment did, equivalent variations and modification all still belong in the scope of technical solution of the present invention.
