Embodiment
Referring now to the LCD display module one embodiment of the invention are described.Fig. 1 provides an explanation to typical LCD display module, and such LCD display module will use in mobile radiotelephone or personal digital assistant.Along with mobile radiotelephone to the next generation, the promptly so-called third generation (3G) development will continue to increase the needs that show digital picture on the mobile radiotelephone display module.The typical display module that is used for this application is the LCD display panel, and as shown in Figure 1, such module comprises a display-memory 1, and configuration is used to store the signal sampling of the digital picture that can show and represents on LCD display panel 2.Pixel is the expression of the coloured image that will show, receives and uses write address logical circuit 8 to write display-memory 1 by interface channel 4.When wanting display image, read the signal sampling that is stored in the memory 1 by reading address logic circuit 10, be transformed into analog domain by digital to analog converter 12, be presented at then on the LCD plate 2.
As explaining, the invention provides a kind of device, reduce memory data output, i.e. the size of display-memory 1 in this example, keeping simultaneously will be in, the quality of the image that shows on the LCD plate 2 for example.Reducing memory data output is to finish by the signal sampling dynamic range that reduces the expression chrominance component.As selection, the sampling of the component signal of the coloured image that receives can be to have been reduced dynamic range because of blocking, and this may be that transmitted image is needed.As will be seen, will block identical amount to the RGB component.For these examples of two sides, specific implementation image processor arrangement of the present invention is used to improve the expression of coloured image that receive or storage.As will be explained, this improvement can help loyal or the regeneration original image of the property improved at least, and reduces the possibility that may occur contour effects in image.
One embodiment of the invention have been described among Fig. 2.Fig. 2 has shown the LCD display module in conjunction with Fig. 1 of image processing circuit 20.As shown in Figure 2, the pixel of the coloured image that receives by passage 4 is only with 12 bit representations, rather than 18 shown in Figure 1.Colored truncation device 15 can realize reducing the resolution of signal sampling.By removing two least significant bits of each RGB component, colored truncation device 15 can be truncated to 12 from 18 with signal sampling, thereby can reduce the dynamic range of signal sampling.Therefore the RGB chrominance component makes the storage of display-memory 1 need reduce 33% with 4 rather than 6 bit representations.
By being truncated to 4 results that reduce its dynamic range from 6, the colour signal sampling reduced the palette that can be used for showing reproduced picture.Therefore the quality reduction may appear in coloured image, can cause occurring in reproduced picture profile or tangible smooth segmentation.Fig. 3 has shown a this example that reduces the coloured image that contour effects takes place because of palette.
In order to reduce in the reproduced picture possibility that contour effects takes place, according to display module configuration of the present invention image processor 20.Image processor 20 arrangement is used for increasing the dynamic range of the color component signal sampling of reading from display-memory 1.As shown in Figure 2, for the example embodiment that will illustrate, be used to represent that the figure place of each pixel is increased to 6 from 4.Fig. 4 has shown image processor 20 in more detail.
In Fig. 4, image processor 20 receives 4 RGB color component signal sampling by interface channel 22 from reading address logic circuit 10.Parallel colored dynamic range transducer 30 and the measurement processor 34 of offering of color component signal sampling.Dynamic range transducer 30 arranges to be used to increase the figure place that is used for from 4 to the sampling of 6 bit representation color component signals.The color component signal sampling that strengthens then offers low pass filter 36, and after this signal sampling of Zeng Qianging offers output channel 24.
According to the increase that obtains by dynamic range transducer 30 dynamic range, can amplify 4 signal sampling values in proportion, by figure place being increased to 6 reflection increased dynamic scopes.In order to adjust the chrominance component sample value according to the dynamic range that has increased, the input signal sample value multiply by gain coefficient G.Gain coefficient G calculates to the increase of q position according to the original resolution and the resolution of n position, is shown below:
To realize the needed number of components of gain coefficient G in order reducing, to copy to two interpolations by two highest significant positions and come using gain coefficient G for the least significant bit of 6 defeated sampling 4 input sampling.Fig. 5 has illustrated this with the arrangement of gain application to the input signal sampling.In Fig. 5,4 input signal sampling that are stored in the level Four register 40 are represented with alphabetical A, B, C, D.Six grades of register 42 configurations are used to form the output signal sampling.Interface channel 44 is connected to six grades of registers with the level Four register.As shown in Figure 5, the interface channel arrangement is used in 2 place value A of two-stages before the shift register 40, the back two-stage that B copies to register 42.Therefore, the value of two least significant bits of output signal sampling is to form according to the highest significant position that input signal is sampled.
Fig. 6 provides a table, has illustrated with respect to the signal sampling value is adjusted to 6 probable values that all 4 input signals of the gain that needs are sampled to utilize the dynamic range that increases from 4.Duplicate the gain that obtains with respect to the register arrangement that shows according to Fig. 5 by the position, shown the gain of calculating by top formula.As can be seen from Figure 6, the position is duplicated and is arranged to provide the gain coefficient G to calculating well approximate, and an advantage is arranged is without any need for Multiplier elements, has therefore reduced the realization cost.
For the level and smooth conversion between the value of color is provided, uses low pass filter 36 to filter the color component signal that strengthens and sample.The effect of trap signal sample value is to reduce the possibility that may occur contour effects in reproduced picture.In preferred embodiments, the low pass filter 36 of realization is a moving average filter as shown in Figure 7, that have an impulse response.Fig. 7 illustrates that the effective width that an impulse response of eight tap moving average filters has is T
w
According to the mean value of input signal sampling in a window that is formed by moving average filter impulse response, moving average filter has effectively formed the input signal sampling.The image outline that the filter arrangement is used for the limited dynamic range by each signal sampling resolution is caused produces smoothing effect.
For the current example that in Fig. 7, shows, used the moving average filter of one eight tap, therefore form output sampling according to the mean value in the eight tap windows.As will be explained briefly, in other embodiments, as eight tap moving average filters, low pass filter 36 also comprises one four tap moving average filter and one two tap moving average filter.These filters increase the bandwidth of passing through of low pass filter when being used for sampling in the expression details near the centre tap of eight tap filters.This provides milder filtration yield for the signal sampling that strengthens, and wherein measurement processor is determined the signal sampling of these expression details.
Fig. 8 provides the explanation according to the low pass filter 36 of an example embodiment.In Fig. 8, low pass filter 36 has three moving average filters, comprises eight tap filters of the impulse response that has as shown in Figure 7.As shown in Figure 8, used eight tapped delay 50 with eight sampling of input signal sample delay.In output place of eight taps, use adder 51,54 and the one-level register 56 common output samplings that form.The filter 36 that shows among Fig. 8 is by carrying out next eight the signal sampling values that add up by adder 54, and by adder 52 realize deducting by and drop on last value of eight tap windows outside, effectively realized moving average filter.Therefore adder 52,54 and register 56 have formed the unit 58 that adds up, and realize calculating rolling average output.
Therefore, moving average filter has effectively been realized in the unit 58 that adds up that shows among Fig. 8, does not need to sue for peace and all signal sampling components of dividing in the eight tap windows calculate each output signal sampling.Therefore an advantage providing of the circuit that shows among Fig. 8 is to have reduced the needed number of components of realization moving average filter, and is optional for this circuit multiplier.Relative, the second and the 3rd add up unit 58 ', 58 " formed the output signal sampling of representing four taps and two tap moving average filters.For this reason, second accumulator 58 ' arrangement is used to receive the sampling from the second level and the fourth stage, forms four tap moving average filters, and the 3rd accumulator 58 " arranges to be used to receive the sampling from the third level and level V.Therefore eight, four and two tap filters are with respect to shared time reference and align center.
As shown in Figure 8, selection processor 9 receives control signal by passage 38.Selection processor 59 has four input channels 51,53,55,57.Four input channels 51,53,55,57 arrange to be used for receiving respectively the output sampling of eight tap moving average filters 51, the output sampling of four tap moving average filters 53, the output sampling of two tap moving average filters 55 and the signal sampling of shift register 50 fourth stages.Determine to select from the output of any two tap, four taps or eight taps output or the bypass sampling of the shift register fourth stage according to the control signal that receives from measurement processor 34.
For fear of the possibility that reduces resolution detail such as edge or single pixel object in the reproduced picture, use measurement processor to detect such details.Measurement processor produces a control signal then, thereby selects output sampling or bypass sampling from any eight tap, four taps or two tap moving average filters.Select signal effectively the bandwidth of low pass filter to be adjusted to consistent about tapped relative position with the pixel of representing details.Fig. 9 provides an example implementation of measurement processor 34.As shown in Figure 9, measurement processor 34 comprises one eight grades shift register 60, the shift register 50 that uses in level and the low pass filter 36 grade corresponding.As shown in Figure 9, adder 62 arranges to be used for the signal sampling of receiving inputted signal sampling and the output of shift register 60 second level.Adder 62 arranges to be used for deducting the signal sampling that newly receives from the signal sampling that is present in the second level, and 64 places obtain a difference in output.Threshold values processor 66 compares the difference and the predefined threshold values of signal sampling then, if poor greater than threshold values, then processor 66 produces a control signal on control channel 38.Determine threshold values, make when all three rgb signals sampling are all greater than a corresponding RGB sample value from the pixel of two sampling periods of front, to detect details.But except adder 62, another adder 68 arranges to be used to calculate poor between the fourth stage and the second level output, and this difference also offers threshold values processor 66.
Figure 10 is with the work of flowchart text measurement processor.As shown in Figure 9, adder 62 is carried out the comparison of the content of up-to-date second signal sampling of signal sampling and front.The threshold values processor determines whether to detect details between these two signal samplings that are subjected to comparison, and this represents with step S2 in Figure 10.
As mentioned above, threshold values processor 66 also receives the comparative result between the output that carried out by adder 68, the partial output of shift register and the shift register fourth stage.Therefore, as the step S4 in the flow chart, the threshold values processor determines whether effectively to detect details between second signal sampling in front in fresh signal sampling and the four tap windows that are made of the sample value of the 3rd, the 4th, the 5th and the 6th register stage output place.
If the threshold values processor is according to the comparison of second and fourth stage content of eight tapped delay, determine in four tap filters, not detect details, but in eight tap filters, exist, at step S4, the threshold values processor determines select four tap filters to produce the output pixel sampling at step S5 so.If the threshold values measurement processor is determined the details sampling in four tap filters, but lucky before two centre taps that form two tap filters, then handle and forward step S8 to.
At step S8, the signal sampling value in the fourth stage also and detecting second threshold values that forms between details and the predefine deviant compares, and is as follows:
Threshold values<sample value<(threshold values+skew)
If the signal sampling value is greater than threshold values, but add deviant, then carry out, on passage 38, produce control signal, select the output of two tap moving average filters 55 as step 10 less than threshold values.If but the signal sampling value adds deviant greater than threshold values, then select the bypass sampling from the 4th tap output of shift register 50.
If do not detect details at step S2 or S4, forward processing the beginning of step S2 to by circulation S6 so, produce the output that control signal is selected eight tap filters.
Another advantage that provides is to select the relative position of the sampling of expression details in four taps output or two tap outputs and the coloured image and the sample value of expression coloured image to have nothing to do.The threshold values processor is effectively adjusted to the bandwidth of low pass filter consistent with the relative frequency bandwidth of sampling by the pixel of filter.Therefore, if detect details pixel sampling among eight tap windows, but just before four tap windows, then select four taps output.If detect details pixel sampling among four tap windows, but just before two tap windows, then select the output of two tap windows.Otherwise select the output sampling of eight tap moving average filters.By selecting degree of filtration, provide the enhancing of coloured image to represent, thereby reduced the possibility of contour effects according to the relative position in eight tap filters.
Have been found that in addition when sampling in determining coloured image represents that details drops on threshold values and threshold values and adds between the predefine skew,, then can improve color image quality if use two tap moving average filters to produce output sampling.The predefine deviant is set, detects the sample value that surpasses the threshold values lesser amt.Have been found that using two tap moving average filters to filter such sample value has strengthened the regeneration coloured image.This is that the sample value that has been no more than skew because these have just surpassed threshold values is represented to need degree of filtration that the middle details of some restrictions is arranged with respect to two sampling just around in the reproduced picture.Therefore shown in step S7, S8 and S10, if the difference between the signal sampling adds skew greater than threshold values, bypass filter then, be included in the fourth stage of register 60 in the middle of sampling pass to filter output.
Shown among Figure 11 and used the treatment of picture result who shows among the 20 couples of Fig. 3 of image processor, represent with 12 signal samplings.As in Figure 12, seeing, removed the facial contour effects that occurs of woman among Fig. 3.But in this image, kept good detailed information.
Though in the example embodiment of Miao Shuing, the low pass filter arrangement is used for only filtering the one-dimensional signal sampling, can use two dimensional filter in alternate embodiment, reaches further enhancing reproduced picture in the above.Therefore admirable is the horizontal or vertical component samples that can arrange the filter filtering image.
Can carry out various modifications to the embodiment of the present invention of describing before here without departing from the present invention.Admirable especially is to come compressed color image by represent colored sampling with littler figure place.When going out the colour signal sampling from memory read, can by increasing bit resolution color image restoration be arrived original resolution then according to above-described embodiment.Therefore admirable is that the resolution of the storage color image of imagination except that 12 and 18 enhancing resolution are sampled.
