APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING IMAGE, AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING IMAGE

摘要

According to one embodiment, a first extraction unit extracts a first group of pixels having a specific hue from an input image. A second extraction unit extracts a second group of pixels having large distance from a reference axis on a plane defined by a chroma axis and a luminance axis from the first group. A first transform unit executes a plurality of color-transform processing to the second group and obtains a plurality of third groups of pixels as the second group transformed by each color-transform processing. A reliability calculation unit calculates a reliability of each third group. The reliability is larger when pixels of the third group are more located in shape of a straight line on the plane. A selection unit selects a color-transform processing by which the third group has the largest reliability from the plurality of color-transform processing. A second transform unit executes the color-transform processing to the input image to obtain an output image.
