For a person suffering from first color blindness, “dark red” (R = 255, G = 0, B = 0) almost looks “black” and cannot be distinguished from “black”. Furthermore, the warm-colored “dark green” is almost difficult to distinguish from “brown”.
When an input signal is "dark red", a detecting means for detecting "dark red", a correction signal generating means for generating a correction signal based on the detection result, and the input signal is corrected by the correction signal. And a correction means to output “bright red” (R = 255, G = 51, B = 51) mixed with a little white and “vermilion” (R = 255, G =) near the short wavelength (orange). 51, an operation method of the image signal correcting means for executing the image signal corrected to B = 0).

Description

本発明は、表示装置等に利用されている画像信号の信号補正方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a signal correction method for an image signal used in a display device or the like.

従来の表示装置は、3原色信号であるR(赤)信号、G(緑)信号、B(青)信号にて、被写体の色を忠実に再現する処理が行われていた。
又、画質調整処理として所望の色を調整することが可能であったが、一定の割合で補正を行うことや、特定の色を特定の色に変換すること等が行われている。
尚、表示装置にて一般的に採用されている画像信号としてR(赤)信号、G(緑)信号、B(青)信号や、Y(輝度信号)、CbCr(色)信号等がある。これらのR(赤)信号、G(緑)信号、B(青)信号等の表し方としては、デジタルで表した一例として8bitで表すと0から255、アナログで表すと0から1の実数、さらに0%から100%等の表し方がある。さらには、xvYCC規格の様な、さらに広い色域を表すことも規格化されている。つまりアナログで表すと0以下の負の実数、若しくは1以上の実数で表わされる色域も利用されている。
以後表記は、特にことわり無き場合は、デジタル8bitで量子化した0〜255で表記する。小数点以下は四捨五入して整数で表すものとする。
In the conventional display device, processing for faithfully reproducing the color of the subject is performed using the R (red) signal, the G (green) signal, and the B (blue) signal which are three primary color signals.
Moreover, although it was possible to adjust a desired color as the image quality adjustment processing, correction is performed at a certain ratio, a specific color is converted into a specific color, or the like.
Note that there are R (red) signal, G (green) signal, B (blue) signal, Y (luminance signal), CbCr (color) signal and the like as image signals generally adopted in the display device. As a way of expressing these R (red) signal, G (green) signal, B (blue) signal, etc., as an example expressed in digital, a real number from 0 to 255 when expressed in 8 bits, 0 to 1 when expressed in analog, Furthermore, there is a way of expressing from 0% to 100%. Furthermore, it is standardized to represent a wider color gamut, such as the xvYCC standard. That is, a color gamut represented by a negative real number of 0 or less or a real number of 1 or more is also used.
In the following description, unless otherwise specified, 0 to 255, which is quantized with digital 8 bits, is used. The numbers after the decimal point are rounded and expressed as an integer.

この3原色信号であるR(赤)信号、G(緑)信号、B(青)信号からなる画像信号を、忠実に再現することは健常者にとっては好ましいことである。
しかし色盲を患う者には、必ずしも色を忠実に再現するのが良いとは限らない。例えば第1色盲を患う者は「濃い赤」(R=255、G=0、B=0)は、ほとんど「黒」に見える。さらに緑は、黄色みがかった暖色系の緑から青みがかった寒色系の緑まで、様々な色あいがある。この中で暖色系の濃い緑は、色盲の人には茶色とほとんど見分けがつかない。鮮やかな緑である抹茶色は、色盲の人には真っ茶色に見えることがある。日本の夏の広葉樹林の深い緑も、茶色と見分けがつかない。
さらに、視覚の基本特性である分光視感度特性は加齢とともに短波長側、すなわち青色系統の感度が低下する。このため高齢者は青色系統の色画像が見づらいものである。
又、あらかじめ登録された色盲 および色弱者にとって誤認傾向のある色に関する情報を参照して、入力された画像データに誤認要因となる色が含まれているか判断し画像データの色を所定の色に変換する考案がされている。

It is preferable for a healthy person to faithfully reproduce the image signal composed of the R (red) signal, the G (green) signal, and the B (blue) signal, which are the three primary color signals.
However, it is not always good to reproduce color faithfully for those who suffer from color blindness. For example, a person suffering from the first color blindness looks almost “black” in “dark red” (R = 255, G = 0, B = 0). In addition, green has a variety of colors, from a warm yellowish green to a bluish cold green. Among them, the warm greenish dark green is almost indistinguishable from brown for people with color blindness. A bright green, brownish brown, may appear brown to people with color blindness. The deep green of the Japanese broad-leaved forest is indistinguishable from brown.
Furthermore, the spectral sensitivity characteristic, which is a basic visual characteristic, decreases with increasing age on the short wavelength side, that is, the sensitivity of the blue color system. For this reason, it is difficult for elderly people to see blue color images.
In addition, referring to pre-registered information on color blindness and colors that tend to be mistaken for color-blind people, it is judged whether the input image data contains a color that causes a misidentification, and the color of the image data is changed to a predetermined color. There is a device to convert.

3原色信号であるR(赤)信号、G(緑)信号、B(青)信号からなる画像信号を、忠実に再現することは健常者にとっては好ましいことである。
しかし色盲を患う者には、必ずしも色を忠実に再現するのが良いとは限らない。
例えば第1色盲を患う者は「濃い赤」(R=255、G=0、B=0)は、ほとんど「黒」に見える。この「濃い赤」は使わずに、少しだけ白を混ぜた「明るい赤」(R=255、G=51、B=51)や短波長(オレンジ)寄りの「朱色」(R=255、G=51、B=0)を使うと,同じ赤でも緑視物質や青視物質を刺激することが可能となり、黒と分別が可能になる。例えば黒い文字列の中でも「明るい赤」の文字であれば強調され、暗い背景の中でも文字が読めるようになる。
さらに緑は、黄色みがかった暖色系の緑から青みがかった寒色系の緑まで、様々な色あいがある。この中で暖色系の濃い緑は、色盲の人には茶色とほとんど見分けがつかない。鮮やかな緑である抹茶色は、色盲の人には真っ茶色に見えることがある。日本の夏の広葉樹林の深い緑も、茶色と見分けがつかない。一方道路標識の緑のように青みが強い緑は、茶色と間違えにくい。また明るい緑は,暖色系だと黄色や赤と間違えることがあるが、青みが強ければ間違えにくい。
道路標識や交通信号は、同じ緑でも青みの強い色に限ることが定められている。
又、視覚の基本特性である分光視感度特性は加齢とともに短波長側、すなわち青色系統の感度が低下する。このため高齢者は青色系統の色画像が見づらいものである。
この発明は、上記の事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、視覚に病を患う者に見やすい画像に補正して表示することや、高齢者の青色系統の色画像が見づらいものを補正して表示し、且つ健常者にとっても違和感の少ない表示を可能とすること、が可能な表示装置のための信号補正方法の提供を目的とする。
つまり、画像信号の3原色信号であるR(赤)信号、G(緑)信号、B(青)信号のそれぞれの値が、所望の条件つまり上記の不具合の条件に合致するとき、それぞれの信号の値に応じて補正量を変えて補正することができる信号補正方法である。
It is preferable for a healthy person to faithfully reproduce an image signal composed of an R (red) signal, a G (green) signal, and a B (blue) signal, which are three primary color signals.
However, it is not always good to reproduce color faithfully for those who suffer from color blindness.
For example, a person suffering from the first color blindness looks almost “black” in “dark red” (R = 255, G = 0, B = 0). This “dark red” is not used, but “bright red” (R = 255, G = 51, B = 51) mixed with a little white or “vermilion” (R = 255, G) closer to the short wavelength (orange) = 51, B = 0), it is possible to stimulate the green and blue vision substances even with the same red color, and it is possible to distinguish from black. For example, if a character string is “bright red” in a black character string, it is emphasized, and the character can be read even in a dark background.
In addition, green has a variety of colors, from a warm yellowish green to a bluish cold green. Among them, the warm greenish dark green is almost indistinguishable from brown for people with color blindness. A bright green, brownish brown, may appear brown to people with color blindness. The deep green of the Japanese broad-leaved forest is indistinguishable from brown. On the other hand, green with a strong bluish color, like the green on the road sign, is unlikely to be mistaken for brown. In addition, bright green may be mistaken for yellow or red if it is a warm color, but it is difficult to make a mistake if the bluish color is strong.
Road signs and traffic signals are limited to the same green color but with a strong bluish color.
In addition, the spectral sensitivity characteristic, which is a basic visual characteristic, decreases with the lapse of time on the short wavelength side, that is, the sensitivity of the blue system. For this reason, it is difficult for elderly people to see blue color images.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and corrects and displays an image that is easy to see for a visually ill person, or corrects and displays an image in which an elderly person's blue color image is difficult to see. In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a signal correction method for a display device capable of enabling a display with less discomfort for a healthy person.
That is, when the respective values of the R (red) signal, G (green) signal, and B (blue) signal, which are the three primary color signals of the image signal, match a desired condition, that is, the above-described problem condition, This is a signal correction method that can be corrected by changing the correction amount according to the value of.

本発明は、入力される画像信号の3原色信号であるR(赤)信号、G(緑)信号、B(青)信号のそれぞれの値が、視覚に病を患う者が認識し難い色の条件に合致するかを検出し、その条件に合致することが検出された際は、入力される画像信号の値に応じて補正をかけるための補正信号を生成し、入力の画像信号に補正を行い出力することを最も主要な特徴とする。その詳細は以下に示す。   In the present invention, the values of the R (red) signal, G (green) signal, and B (blue) signal, which are the three primary color signals of the input image signal, are colors that are difficult for a person suffering from a visual disease to recognize. If it is detected whether the condition is met, and if it is detected that the condition is met, a correction signal is generated for correction according to the value of the input image signal, and the input image signal is corrected. The most important feature is to perform and output. Details are shown below.

従って、図5のごとくR(赤)信号の値に対応したG(緑)信号、若しくはB(青)信号に補正することができる。
さらに又、補正信号の値を決める別な例3Bとして、
比較手段の結果とは無関係に、入力されるR(赤)信号と入力されるB(青)信号とに基づき、
logは、10を低とする対数とし、
入力されるR(赤)信号をR、ただしRは0〜100、

補正信号B=(20×(R÷100))×(1−log((B+10)÷10))、
である補正信号Bを生成する。
従って、入力されているR(赤)信号とB(青)信号の値に基づき、一意に値が決定される補正信号を生成できる。
As a result, when R (red) signal = 255, G (green) signal = 0, and B (blue) signal = 0, R (red) signal = 255, G (green) signal = 51, B (Blue) signal = 51 can be corrected.
Therefore, it can be corrected to a G (green) signal or a B (blue) signal corresponding to the value of the R (red) signal as shown in FIG.
Furthermore, as another example 3B for determining the value of the correction signal,
Regardless of the result of the comparison means, based on the input R (red) signal and the input B (blue) signal,
log is the logarithm with 10 being low,
The input R (red) signal is R, where R is 0 to 100,
When the input B (blue) signal is B, where B is 0-100,
When (1-log ((B + 10) ÷ 10)) is a negative value, the generated correction signal B is 0,
When (1-log ((B + 10) ÷ 10)) is a positive value,
Correction signal B = (20 × (R ÷ 100)) × (1−log ((B + 10) ÷ 10)),
A correction signal B is generated.
Accordingly, it is possible to generate a correction signal whose value is uniquely determined based on the values of the input R (red) signal and B (blue) signal.

尚、入力3原色信号を表す量子化bit数は、8bit以外の所望のbit数であること、若しくは8bit以外の所望のbit数であり、且つ負を表すことが可能なサインビットを備える量子化方法であっても同様な効果が得られる。   Note that the number of quantization bits representing the input three primary color signals is a desired number of bits other than 8 bits, or a desired number of bits other than 8 bits, and a quantization including a sign bit that can represent negative. Even if it is a method, the same effect is acquired.

さらに、実施例で説明に使用したBK1とBK2とGK1とGK2等の係数は、他の所望する値であっても効果が得られる。   Furthermore, even if the coefficients such as BK1, BK2, GK1, and GK2 used for the explanation in the embodiment are other desired values, the effect can be obtained.

補正信号生成手段は、ルックアップテーブル方式であるデジタル化された階調のデータを任意の階調に補正するために入力と出力の対照表を利用することによる所望の補正値により、入力に対する所望の直線的な出力特性とする補正値、さらに入力に対する所望の曲線的な出力特性とする補正値の生成が可能であることであっても一意に値が決定される補正信号を生成でき同様な効果が得られる。   The correction signal generation means uses a desired correction value by using a comparison table of input and output to correct digitized gradation data, which is a look-up table method, to an arbitrary gradation. Even if it is possible to generate a correction value with a linear output characteristic, and a correction value with a desired curvilinear output characteristic for the input, a correction signal whose value is uniquely determined can be generated. An effect is obtained.

又、画像信号で表わされる色空間がsRGB表色系と、一意に変換が可能な表色系、例えばRGBA表色系、若しくはYIQ表色系、若しくはYCbCr表色系、若しくはYPbPr表色系、若しくはXYZ表色系、若しくはxyY表色系、若しくはxvYCC表色系、で補正を行うことであっても同様な効果が得られる。   Further, the color space represented by the image signal is an sRGB color system and a color system that can be uniquely converted, for example, an RGBA color system, a YIQ color system, a YCbCr color system, or a YPbPr color system, Alternatively, the same effect can be obtained by performing correction in the XYZ color system, the xyY color system, or the xvYCC color system.

本発明は、画像信号の3原色信号であるR(赤)、G(緑)信号、B(青)信号のそれぞれの値が所望の条件を満たすかを検出する検出手段と、その検出手段の検出結果と前記入力の画像信号の値に応じて補正をかけるための補正信号を生成する補正信号生成手段と、その補正信号生成手段の補正信号に基づき前記入力の画像信号に補正を加え出力する補正手段と、を備えた画像信号の信号補正手段の動作方法であるため、
R(赤)信号、G(緑)信号、B(青)信号のそれぞれの値が、所望する条件であるとき、R(赤)信号の値とG(緑)信号の値とに応じた補正信号を生成してG(緑)信号の補正を行う事や、R(赤)信号の値とB(青)信号の値に応じた補正信号を生成してB(青)信号の補正を行う事ができる。
従って、「濃い赤」であるR(赤)信号=255、G(緑)信号=0、B(青)信号=0を検出して、少しだけ白を混ぜた「明るい赤」R(赤)信号=255、G(緑)信号=51、B(青)信号=51や、短波長(オレンジ)寄りの「朱色」R(赤)信号=255、G(緑)信号=51、B(青)信号=0に補正することができる。
さらにG(緑)信号が所望する基準信号値以下を検出したとき、R(赤)信号の値とG(緑)信号の値とに応じた補正信号を生成してG(緑)信号の補正を行う事や、B(青)信号が所望する基準信号値以下を検出したとき、R(赤)信号とB(青)信号の値との値に応じた補正信号を生成してB(青)信号の補正を行う事もできる。
さらにR(赤)信号、G(緑)信号、B(青)信号がそれぞれ所望する基準値との比較により、例えば「濃い緑」であるR(赤)信号=0、G(緑)信号=255、B(青)信号=0を検出したとき、G(緑)信号とB(青)信号との値に応じた補正信号を生成して、B(青)信号の補正を行い、少しだけ青を混ぜた色R(赤)信号=0、G(緑)信号=255、B(青)信号=51に補正する事もできる。
従って、第1色盲を患う者でも上記の条件では判別が困難であったが、補正を行う事により判別が可能な表示とすることができ、健常者にも上記の条件以外では補正を行わないため違和感の少ない表示を可能とすることを特徴とする表示装置を提供できる。
さらにB(青)信号が所望する基準値以下を検出したとき、R(赤)信号、G(緑)信号、B(青)信号から変換したY(輝度)信号とB(青)信号の値との値に応じた補正信号を生成して、B(青)信号の補正を行う事もできる。
従って、加齢と共に低下した青色系統の感度を補うため、B(青)信号の値が所望する基準値より低い場合にはB(青)信号を補正し、B(青)信号の値が所望する基準値より高い場合にはB(青)信号を補正しないことにより、高齢者にはB(青)信号の値が低い場合ではB(青)信号を補正しているため見やすくなり、B(青)信号の値が高い場合にはB(青)信号補正しないため高齢者以外の者にも違和感の少ない画像を表示することができることを特徴とする表示装置を提供できる。
The present invention provides a detection means for detecting whether each value of R (red), G (green) signal, and B (blue) signal, which are three primary color signals of an image signal, satisfies a desired condition, A correction signal generating means for generating a correction signal for performing correction according to the detection result and the value of the input image signal, and correcting and outputting the input image signal based on the correction signal of the correction signal generating means Since the operation method of the signal correction means of the image signal comprising the correction means,
When the values of the R (red) signal, the G (green) signal, and the B (blue) signal are the desired conditions, correction is performed according to the value of the R (red) signal and the value of the G (green) signal. A signal is generated to correct the G (green) signal, or a correction signal corresponding to the value of the R (red) signal and the value of the B (blue) signal is generated to correct the B (blue) signal. I can do things.
Therefore, “dark red” R (red) signal = 255, G (green) signal = 0, B (blue) signal = 0 are detected, and “bright red” R (red) mixed with a little white Signal = 255, G (green) signal = 51, B (blue) signal = 51, “Vermilion” R (red) signal = 255 near the short wavelength (orange), G (green) signal = 51, B (blue) ) Signal = 0 can be corrected.
Further, when the G (green) signal is detected below the desired reference signal value, a correction signal corresponding to the R (red) signal value and the G (green) signal value is generated to correct the G (green) signal. Or when a B (blue) signal is detected to be equal to or less than a desired reference signal value, a correction signal corresponding to the value of the R (red) signal and the B (blue) signal is generated and B (blue) ) Signal correction can also be performed.
Further, the R (red) signal, G (green) signal, and B (blue) signal are compared with the desired reference values, for example, R (red) signal = 0, G (green) signal = “dark green”, for example. 255, when a B (blue) signal = 0 is detected, a correction signal corresponding to the values of the G (green) signal and the B (blue) signal is generated, and the B (blue) signal is corrected. It is also possible to correct the color R (red) signal = 0, G (green) signal = 255, and B (blue) signal = 51 mixed with blue.
Therefore, even if the person suffers from the first color blindness is difficult to discriminate under the above conditions, it is possible to make a display that can be discriminated by performing correction, and the normal person is not corrected under the above conditions. Therefore, it is possible to provide a display device characterized by enabling display with less discomfort.
Further, when the B (blue) signal is detected below the desired reference value, the values of the Y (luminance) signal and the B (blue) signal converted from the R (red) signal, the G (green) signal, and the B (blue) signal It is also possible to generate a correction signal corresponding to the values of and to correct the B (blue) signal.
Therefore, in order to compensate for the sensitivity of the blue system that has decreased with aging, the B (blue) signal is corrected when the value of the B (blue) signal is lower than the desired reference value, and the value of the B (blue) signal is desired. If the reference value is higher than the reference value, the B (blue) signal is not corrected. For the elderly, the B (blue) signal is corrected when the value of the B (blue) signal is low. When the value of the blue signal is high, the B (blue) signal is not corrected, so that it is possible to provide a display device that can display an image with less discomfort to a person other than the elderly.
