従来より、デジタル画像を取り扱うデバイスないしシステム(屋内外監視カメラ、ネットワークカメラ(IPカメラ)、Webカメラ、インターホンなど)の分野では、入力画像に種々の画像補正処理(霧消し補正処理、逆光補正処理、明暗補正処理など)を施すことにより、所望の出力画像を生成する画像補正処理回路が用いられている。
図93A及び図93Bはいずれも画像データを取り扱う電子機器(屋内外監視カメラ、ネットワークカメラ(IPカメラ)、Webカメラ、車載カメラ、インターホンなど)の一従来例を示すブロック図である。
確かに、画像補正処理回路を用いれば、霧が掛かった入力画像や逆光の入力画像をより視認性の高い出力画像に変換し、これを表示デバイスに送出することが可能となる。
しかしながら、上記従来の電子機器900には、霧や靄の掛かった視認性の低い入力画像データがカメラ901で得られた場合、その入力画像データに対して適切な画像補正処理(霧消し処理)を施す手段が設けられていなかった。

まず、ステップS201にて、入力画像の平均輝度値とACVRCTH1レジスタ値とを比較する。入力画像の平均輝度の方が高ければ、Sカーブレンジ調整判定ステート(ステップS202)へ移行する。輝度判定には、ACVRCTH1レジスタ値付近でのON/OFFを防ぐために、ヒステリシス幅を設定することが可能である。霧画像補正は入力輝度がACVRCTH1レジスタ値よりも大きければONし、入力輝度がACVRCTH2レジスタ値よりも小さければOFFする。
Sカーブレンジ調整は、入力画像の分散値を判定し、分散値に応じてSCRVADJレジスタ値を算出する。Sカーブレンジ調整の設定範囲指定は、ACSCV_ULIM、ACSCV_MH、ACSCV_MM、ACSCV_ML、ACSCV_LLIMにて行う。標準分散範囲指定は、ACVRCTH1、ACVRCTH2、ACVRCTH3で行い、ACVRCTH1、ACVRCTH2の間は、等分に4分割する。例えば、入力分散値がACVRCTH1と同じ値であればSCRVADJレジスタ値はACSCV_ULIM値に設定される。入力輝度判定時と同様に、Sカーブレンジ調整でも、設定境界でのちらつきを防止するため、図54に示すように、ヒステリシスを持っている。入力画像の分散値が次第に大きくなる場合には、図54の破線で示される経路でSカーブレンジ調整を行い、入力データの分散値がACVRCTH3以上になると霧画像補正機能をOFFする。一旦OFFした後は、入力データの分散値がACVRCTH2以上になれば、霧画像補正機能をONし、分散値に応じたSカーブレンジ調整を行う。
