Abstract
An image processing device and a method thereof are provided. In the image processing method, an adjusting value is computed according to a pixel of a current image and a plurality of reference pixels nearby. In addition, a weighted coefficient is computed according to a gray-scale difference between the pixel of the current image and a pixel of a previous image. Further, a weighted adjusting value is computed according to the adjusting value and the weighted coefficient. Besides, the pixel of the current image is adjusted according to the weighted adjusting value to generate a pixel of an output image. Thereby, the current image is adjusted adaptively to increase the quality of the output image.
Claims6
An image processing method, comprising:
- computing a first adjusting value according to a first pixel of a current image and a plurality of first reference pixels nearby;
- computing a first weighted coefficient by dividing a gray-scale difference between the first pixel of the current image and the first pixel of the previous image by a base value to obtain the first weighted coefficient;
- computing a first weighted adjusting value according to the first adjusting value and the first weighted coefficient;
- and
- adjusting the first pixel of the current image according to the first weighted adjusting value to generate a first pixel of an output image;
- wherein
- the first weighted adjusting value is equal to the first adjusting value multiplies the first weighted coefficient, and
- a gray-scale of the first pixel of the output image is equal to the gray-scale of the first pixel of the current image plus the first weighted adjusting value.
An image processing device, comprising:
- a storage unit, for storing a previous image;
- and
- a computing unit, coupled to the storage unit, for computing an adjusting value according to a pixel of a current image and a plurality of reference pixels nearby, computing a weighted coefficient by dividing a gray-scale difference between the pixel of the current image and the pixel of the previous image by a base value to obtain the weighted coefficient, computing a weighted adjusting value according to the adjusting value and the weighted coefficient, and adjusting the pixel of the current image according to the weighted adjusting value to generate a pixel of an output image, wherein the pixel of the current image, the pixel of the previous image and the pixel of the output image are mutually corresponded;
- wherein
- the first weighted adjusting value is equal to the first adjusting value multiplies the first weighted coefficient, and
