Description

Method and apparatus based on the down-sampling of sub-pix
Related application
[0001] there is not application related to the present invention.
Technical field
[0002] the present invention relates generally to picture signal and handle, particularly image demonstration and image of down-sampling (down-sampling) are to meet less demonstration, software application, transmission or customer requirements.More particularly, the objective of the invention is to be used for the down-sampling that RGB shows based on sub-pix (subpixel).
Summary of the invention
[0003] image is to be made of pixel.It is possible that the mode of the number of pixels by reducing presentation video reduces size of images.Reducing number of pixels is to be undertaken by a down-sampling process.
[0004] in the down-sampling stage, all pixels that are not initial pictures can both obtain keeping, and only keep its partial pixel, can cause like this producing serious aliased distortion (aliasing artifact) in high spatial frequency (spatial frequency) zone, because fine rule fracture/and discontinuous and destroy shape information (shape information) and edge, thus scalariform distortion (staircase artifact) shown.
[0005] each pixel of common color LCD display is actually by single addressable red, green and blue sub-pix striped (sub-pixel stripe) and forms.Use can improve the apparent resolution (apparent resolution) of display image based on the demonstration of sub-pix.Because the sub-pix number is bigger three times than number of pixels, uses demonstration can reduce the scalariform distortion effectively, and rebuild shape information more faithfully based on sub-pix.So, be possible to strengthen visual quality by down-sampling based on sub-pix.But, will perceive color distortion (color fringing artifact) to some pixels, because not all red, green, blue sub-pix all is retained in the image of down-sampling.
[0006] and, employed anti-aliased low pass filter (low-pass filtering) can be paid image blurring cost though can alleviate color distortion in the down-sampling based on pixel.
[0007], and designs a filter to minimize this error metrics by deriving filter factor in order to reduce initial pictures and, can in frequency domain (frequency domain), to define an error metrics with the difference between the sub-pix mode display image.But, the down-sampling of these methods on only can the processing horizontal direction.If consider vertical down-sampling simultaneously, performance will significantly reduce.
[0008] the present invention relates to a kind of Downsapling method based on sub-pix.Downsapling method based on sub-pix can alleviate color distortion and fuzzy according to rim detection by an adaptive-filtering.Downsapling method based on sub-pix provides an optimum cut-off frequency (cutoff frequency) to give adaptive-filtering to keep image detail information as much as possible.Allow at one or more directions rather than the down-sampling on a horizontal direction only based on the Downsapling method of sub-pix, this did not occur before this disclosure.This can guarantee that the shape details on all directions obtains keeping.
[0009] an object of the present invention is to remove color distortion.Existing method only allow in the horizontal direction based on the sub-pix down-sampling, otherwise visual quality will significantly reduce.But, if shown in marginal existence is arranged in the image, may produce color distortion, if and be 255 o'clock at the numerical value of the RGB of edge left pixel sub-pix, i.e. display white, and when the numerical value at the RGB of edge right pixel sub-pix is 0, promptly show black, situation also is like this.The horizontal direction that only adopts left side R sub-pix and right side G and B sub-pix based on the sub-pix down-sampling after, will produce the pixel of a RGB numerical value for (255,0,0), promptly show redness.In initial pictures, there is not this color, thereby produces color distortion.Because CONSIDERING EDGE of the present invention, and use anti-aliasing filter (anti-aliasing filter) in different directions adaptively based on edge detection results, can remove or reduce color distortion at least,, can keep the more images detailed information as far as possible at least if remove fully.
[0010] another object of the present invention is to reduce fuzzy and the reservation image information.Defined the anti-aliasing filter cut-off frequency of an optimum in the present invention, it is novel and is higher than known cut-off frequency.Anti-aliasing filter of the present invention not only can be removed most color aliasing, and a traditional anti-aliasing filter of ratio result more clearly can be provided.
[0011] others of the present invention also will be in following disclosure.
