METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR 3-D COLOR ADJUSTMENT BASED ON COLOR REGION DEFINITION USING PWL MODULES

摘要

A video processing system may be operable to utilize one-dimensional (1-D) piecewise linear (PWL) functions to adjust chroma and/or luma parameters corresponding to pixels that are determined to fall within one or more N-dimensional color adjustment regions in spatial representation of pixels' chroma and luma information. The chroma and/or luma parameters comprise Y, Cb, Cr, saturation and/or hue parameters in systems using Y′CbCr color coding. The 1-D PWL functions are operable to generate adjustment data corresponding to one of chroma and/or luma parameters, wherein the adjustment data comprise offset or gain data. The 1-D PWL functions are reprogrammable. The 1-D PWL functions may enable smooth transitions in boundary areas of at least some of the N-dimensional color adjustment regions. Determination of whether pixels fall within the color adjustment regions is based on a plurality of boundary points and/or criteria. Adjustment data corresponding to overlapped regions are aggregated.
