Low noise color correction matrix function in digital image capture systems and methods
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image processing system, comprising:
- a filtering arrangement configured to receive incoming pixel information and filter at least a first portion of the information to thereby pass a second portion of the information for further processing;
circuitry configured to apply a first color correction function to the incoming pixel information to thereby produce a modified first portion;
circuitry configured to apply a second color correction function to the second portion to thereby produce a modified second portion; and
an adder configured to combine the modified first portion to the modified second portion, wherein the second color correction function includes a zero mean matrix and is applied to chrominance information.

9. An image processing system, comprising:
-
means for receiving image information from an image sensor;
means for segmenting the image information into a first portion and a second portion;means for applying a first color correction function to the image information to thereby produce a modified first portion; means for applying a second color correction function to the second portion to thereby produce a modified second portion; and means for combining the modified first portion to the modified second portion to thereby produce final image information, wherein the second color correction function includes a zero mean matrix and is applied to chrominance information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
