Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
Recently, image display devices have been introduced that show an input image as it is, but do not over-scan the input signal (HDMI, DTV, etc.).
The over-scan is implemented by cutting the outer portion of the input image by a specific ratio, and the just scan is implemented by displaying the input image without cutting it.
In order to implement the over scan and just scan functions, the vertical start and horizontal start parts of an image are calculated by using DE (Data Enable) information and vertical (H) / horizontal (V) sync information carried in an input signal. In this case, the abnormal image of the outer portion of the image is cut out and displayed to the user.
In this case, since the above information exists only in a specific input signal source such as HDMI and not in most other input signals, the outer edge of the input image is set to a default setting value (H, V Position and size). Cut out the part and display it.
However, when displaying a video signal input from the outside in a conventional manner, when watching a low-cost DVD title or when watching an analog signal without relevant information on the input signal, the H / V start at which the starting point of the actually input video is calculated is calculated. Unlike the viewpoint, sizzling abnormal images are shown.
In other words, as shown in FIG. 1, there is a problem in that information on an image signal does not exist, and an arbitrary region sizzling in the outer portion of the image is displayed as it is by performing a just scan by calculating an arbitrary H / V starting point. .
Therefore, a user may have to manually adjust an aspect ratio control (ARC) or a zoom ratio to avoid an abnormal section of the outer portion of the image.
In addition, when adjusting the aspect ratio of an image by setting a specific ratio (for example, 16: 9) as described above, since there is no information on the input image, an arbitrary H / V starting point is calculated to calculate the By adjusting the aspect ratio, there is a problem that the auto scan rate is not finely adjusted and the image area that the user wants to view is cut off.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object thereof is to prevent an abnormal section about an outer portion of an image from being displayed to a user by inspecting an input image in real time and adjusting a crop section accordingly. have.

Is a flowchart for explaining step by step, and FIGS. 7 and 8 are flowcharts for describing in detail an image abnormal section detection method of FIG. 6.
First, the image display device according to the present invention includes a
The operation of the image display device according to the present invention configured as described above is as follows.
First, the image size adjustment condition preset by the user is stored in the
Here, the image size adjustment condition is a condition for detecting an image abnormal section region, the gray level information which is a reference level for detecting a pointer to which non-black data is input, and the image abnormal section. The inspection frame number for detecting an area and detection area information for detecting the video abnormal section area in the vertical / horizontal area are included.
In addition, in order to variously apply the image size adjustment condition for each implementation time, the user may set the image size adjustment conditions for each time.
Each of the image size adjustment conditions will be described in more detail below.
The video signal input from the outside is received and decoded through the
The
In this case, to detect the vertical and horizontal start points, as shown in FIG. 3, it may be performed only when the user sets the auto overscan 100 menu rather than the just scan on the menu screen. It may also be carried out irrespective of.
The
That is, the
Here, the vertical / horizontal detection area is
Accordingly, the
Similarly, the
The
That is, the
For example, when the maximum horizontal coordinate (Hmax1) value in the
In this case, when the resolution of the input frame is 1080P, the area occupied by the video abnormal section in the horizontal region is 30/1920 = 0.0156, and the area occupied by the video abnormal section in the vertical region is 20/1080 = 0.0185. Since the reference start point for adjusting the image size is set to the detected vertical start point.
The
That is, when the set reference start point is a vertical start point, the total vertical area size V_size from which an image abnormal area is cropped in a vertical area may be calculated based on the vertical start point Vmax. The horizontal starting point Hmax and the total horizontal area size H_size from which the abnormal image region is cropped are calculated based on the total vertical area size from which the area is cropped.
In addition, if the set reference start point is a horizontal start point, the total horizontal area size H_size from which an image abnormal area is cropped in a horizontal area may be calculated based on the horizontal start point Hmax. The vertical starting point Vmax and the total vertical area size V_size in which the abnormal image region is cropped are calculated based on the total horizontal area size H_size in which the area is cropped.
For example, if Hmax (horizontal starting point) / H_total (horizontal total number of pixels for the input frame) ≥ Vmax (vertical starting point) / V_total (vertical total number of pixels for the input frame), the H max is referred to as the reference starting point. If Hmax (horizontal starting point) / H_total (horizontal total number of pixels for the input frame) <Vmax (vertical starting point) / V_total (vertical total number of pixels for the input frame), the V max is defined as the starting point. Set it.
In this case, when the H max is set as the reference start point, the horizontal start point for cropping the image abnormal region is H_start = H max, and the total horizontal size H_size in which the image abnormal region is cropped in the horizontal region is H. Since the left horizontal area and the right horizontal area are cropped based on max, respectively, H_total- (2 * H_start) is obtained.
Also, V_start and V_size for maintaining the aspect ratio of the original input frame are calculated based on the calculated H_start and H_size.
In order to maintain the aspect ratio with respect to the original input image, a proportional expression of H_total: V_total = H_size: (V_total-2 * V_start) must be satisfied. The aspect ratio of the original image is equal to the total number of vertical pixels: the number of horizontal vertical pixels. H_size: V_size, the image in which the section is cropped, is also maintained to have the same aspect ratio.
Here, V_size becomes V_total- (2 * V_start) because each of the upper region and the lower region is cropped based on V_start.
Based on such a proportional expression, the V_start and V_size values are obtained based on the following equation.
V_size = V_total- (2 * V_start)
Here, since the V_total, H_total, and H_size values are the calculated values or already known values, the V_start value, which is the vertical starting point, can be calculated accordingly, and the image abnormal region is cropped based on the calculated V_start value. The vertical size V_size (= V_total-2 * V_start) can be calculated.
Based on the H_start, H_size, V_start, and V_size values calculated as described above, the
That is, as shown in FIG. 5, in the input frame (0,0) of the original image, the horizontal region is cropped by H_siz from the (H_start, V_start) point according to the vertical starting point V_start and the horizontal starting point H_start, and vertical. The area is cropped by V_size to adjust the optimal video screen size in which the video abnormal section is cropped.
In contrast, when V max is set as the reference start point, V_start = V max, which is a start point at which the image abnormal region is cropped, and the total vertical size V_size in which the image abnormal region is cropped in the vertical region is V. Based on max, the upper vertical region and the lower vertical region are cropped V_total- (2 * V_start), respectively.
In addition, the
That is, in order to maintain the original aspect ratio, the proportional expression of H_total: V_total = (H_total-2 * H_start): V_size must be satisfied. In other words, since the aspect ratio of the original image is the number of vertical total pixels: the number of horizontal vertical pixels, H_size: V_size, which is an image in which an abnormal image section is cropped, is maintained to have the same aspect ratio.
Here, H_size becomes H_total- (2 * H_start) because each of the left horizontal area and the right horizontal area is cropped based on H_start.
Based on such a proportional expression, the H_start and H_size values are obtained based on the following equation.
H_size = H_total- (2 * H_start)
Here, since the H_total, V_total, and V_size values are the calculated values or already known values, the H_start value, which is the horizontal start point, can be calculated accordingly, and the image abnormal region is cropped based on the calculated H_start value. The horizontal size H_size (= H_total-2 * H_start) can be calculated.
Based on the H_start, H_size, V_start, and V_size values calculated as described above, the
In addition, the
As described above, the image display device according to the present invention crops an image abnormal section outside the video screen with minimal over-scan when viewing an image using the Just Scan, thereby allowing the user to display an image having a clean image quality. It can provide to the user, and by adjusting the aspect ratio by applying the optimal over-scan rate based on the image of the image abnormal section is cropped, to provide a lot of the original image of the image possible to the user by preventing the image is lost can do.
In the image adjusting method of the image display device according to the present invention configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 6, first, it is determined whether an auto over-scan command is input from the user (S10).
Subsequently, when the auto-scan command is input (S10), the still picture is continuously displayed or the display screen is muted (S20).
Then, the image size adjustment condition preset by the user is extracted from the memory unit 20 (S30). That is, the number of inspection frames, vertical / horizontal starting point detection areas, and gray level information preset by a user are extracted.
Subsequently, the maximum X coordinate value Hmax1 in the H1 area is detected based on the set horizontal start point detection area (S40).
As in step S40, the maximum X coordinate value H max2 in the H2 area is detected based on the horizontal starting point detection area (S50).
Subsequently, it is determined whether the H max1 value in the H1 region is greater than or equal to the H max2 in the H2 region based on the steps S40 and S50 (S60).
Then, when the determination result (S60) Hmax1> = Hmax2, the horizontal start point (Hmax) value is determined as Hmax1 (S70).
In addition, when the determination result (S60) H max1 <H max2, the horizontal start point (H max) value is determined as H max2 (S80).
Subsequently, the maximum Y coordinate value V max1 in the V1 detection area is detected based on the set vertical start point detection area (S90).
Similarly, the maximum Y coordinate value V max2 in the V2 region is detected based on the vertical viewpoint detection region (S100).
Subsequently, it is determined whether the Vmax1 value in the V1 region is greater than or equal to the Vmax2 value in the V2 region based on the steps S90 and S100 (S110).
Then, when the determination result (S110) Vmax1> = Vmax2, the vertical start point (Vmax) value is determined as the Vmax1 value (S120).
In addition, if the determination result (S120) Vmax1 <Vmax2, the vertical start point (Vmax) value is determined as the Vmax2 value (S130).
The reference starting point value for receiving the determined Hmax value and Vmax value and maintaining the aspect ratio of the original image based on the resolution of the input frame (vertical total number of pixels V_total and horizontal total number of pixels H_total) Select (S140).
Subsequently, based on the selected reference starting point value, a crop region of an image abnormal section according to the aspect ratio of the input frame is determined (S150).
Then, the size of the input frame is adjusted according to the determined crop region (S160).
Subsequently, the adjusted image is displayed and the freeze display or the screen mute is released (S170).
Then, it is determined whether the aspect ratio adjustment commands (4: 3, 16: 9, 14: 9) are input from the user (S180).
Subsequently, when an aspect ratio adjustment command is input, the aspect ratio of the input frame is adjusted based on the image in which the video abnormal section is cropped (S190).
Herein, the method (S40 and S50) of detecting the abnormal image section will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.
First, a method of detecting the maximum X coordinate value in the H1 detection area (S40) is shown in FIG. 7. First, the x coordinate is set to 0 and the y coordinate is set to 0 to obtain the X coordinate value for the H1 detection area. (S200).
Subsequently, it is determined whether the set y coordinate value is smaller than or equal to V_total (S202).
If the set y coordinate value is less than or equal to V_total, it is determined whether the set x coordinate value is less than or equal to X1 (H1 detection area x coordinate value) (S204).
Subsequently, when the set x coordinate value is less than or equal to X1, the determination result (S204) reads pixel data for the set coordinate (x, y) (S206).
In operation S208, it is determined whether the set coordinate (x, y) data is greater than or equal to a preset gray level.
Subsequently, when the determined coordinate (x.y) data is smaller than the preset gray level, the determination result (S208) returns to step S204 by setting x = x + 1 (S210).
In addition, if the set coordinate (x, y) data is greater than a preset gray level, the determination result (S208) determines whether the coordinate x value having the value is larger than the previously calculated Hmax1 value (S212).
When the x coordinate value is greater than the calculated Hmax1, the determination result (S212) determines the x coordinate value as the Hmax1 value (S214).
Subsequently, the process returns to step S202 with the y coordinate value as y + 1.
On the other hand, if the x value is greater than the set value X1, the determination result (S204), the corresponding coordinate value is set to x = 0 and y = y + 1, respectively, and the process returns to step S202.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, in the method S50 of detecting the maximum X coordinate value in the H2 detection area, first, the x coordinate is set to H_total and the y coordinate is set to 0 to obtain the X coordinate value for the H2 detection area. (S300). That is, since the H2 region belongs to the right region in the horizontal region, first, the maximum pixel x coordinate value starts.
Subsequently, it is determined whether the set y coordinate value is smaller than or equal to V_total (S302).
If the set y coordinate value is less than or equal to V_total, it is determined whether the set x coordinate value is greater than or equal to X2 (H2 detection area x coordinate value) (S304).
Subsequently, when the determined x coordinate value is greater than or equal to X2, the determination result (S304) reads pixel data of the set coordinates (x, y) (S306).
In operation S308, it is determined whether the set coordinate (x, y) data is greater than or equal to a preset gray level.
Subsequently, when the determined coordinate (x.y) data is smaller than the preset gray level, the determination result (S308) returns to step S304 by setting x = x−1 (S310).
In addition, if the set coordinate (x, y) data is greater than a preset gray level, the determination result (S308) determines whether the coordinate x value H_total-x having the value is larger than the previously calculated Hmax2 value. (S312).
If the x coordinate value is greater than the calculated Hmax2, the determination result (S312) determines the x coordinate value H_total-x as the Hmax2 value (S314).
Subsequently, the process returns to step S302 with y coordinate
On the other hand, if the x value is smaller than the set X2 value in the determination result (S304), the corresponding coordinate value is set to x = H_total and y = y + 1, respectively, and the process returns to step S302.
Similarly, the maximum y coordinate value in the V1 detection area and the maximum y coordinate value in the V2 detection area along the vertical area are detected.
As described above, the image display device and the image adjusting method according to the present invention crop a video abnormal section outside the image screen with minimal over-scan when viewing an image using the Just Scan, thereby providing clean image quality. The image can be provided to the user, and by adjusting the aspect ratio by applying an optimal over-scan rate based on the image in which the abnormal section is cropped, it is possible to prevent an image that is lost meaninglessly.
