A Generic 2d Sharpness Enhancement Algorithm for Luminance Signals
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we attempt to generalize a sharpness enhancement technique for TV applications. Basically, the enhancement is accomplished by adding overshoot to luminance edges. However, the optimal amount of overshoot added for a high image quality depends on the local image statistics. For this purpose, four properties of the video signal are analysed locally by separate units and depending on this analysis, we regulate the amount of sharpness enhancement to be provided. Due to these additional controls, the system is robust with respect to varying image statistics and yields a high performance.

Adaptive Line Enhancement Using a Parallel IIR Filter with A Step-By-step Algorithm
A step-by-step algorithm for enhancement of periodic signals that are highly corrupted by additive uncorrelated white gausian noise is proposed. In each adaptation step a new parallel second-order section is added to the previous filters. Every section has only one adjustable parameter, i.e., the center frequency of the self-tuning filter. The bandwidth and the convergence factor of each secti...

Various images are low quality, difficult to detect and extract information. Therefore, enhancement of contrast and Sharpness of an image is required in many applications. Unsharp masking is a good tool for sharpness enhancement: it is an anti-blurring filter. By using Unsharp masking algorithm for sharpness enhancement, the resultant image suffering with two problems, first one is halo appears...
متن کاملImage Enhancement using Generalized Unsharp Masking Algorithm
Enhancement of contrast and sharpness of an image is required in many applications. Unsharp masking is a classical tool for sharpness enhancement. We propose a generalized unsharp masking algorithm using the exploratory data model as a unified framework. The proposed algorithm is designed to address three issues: 1) simultaneously enhancing contrast and sharpness by means of individual treatmen...
متن کاملLow-level motion analysis of color and luminance for perception of 2D and 3D motion.
We investigated the low-level motion mechanisms for color and luminance and their integration process using 2D and 3D motion aftereffects (MAEs). The 2D and 3D MAEs obtained in equiluminant color gratings showed that the visual system has the low-level motion mechanism for color motion as well as for luminance motion. The 3D MAE is an MAE for motion in depth after monocular motion adaptation. A...
