Video signal correction apparatus which detects leading and trailing edges to define boundaries between colors and corrects for bleeding

摘要

A video signal correction apparatus has a memory for storing a luminance value and color difference values for each pixel in an image, a horizontal color difference correction arrangement and a vertical color difference correction arrangement. The horizontal color difference correction arrangement includes a luminance change point detector for detecting leading and trailing edges, in which an area defined between the leading and trailing edges is a boundary between two colors. The colors in a region outside the boundary and adjacent to the edges are bleeding. The color difference values further outside the bleeding region are sampled to make reference color difference value. The reference color difference value is used for replacing the color difference values in the bleeding region to eliminate or reduce the bleeding color.
