Patent ID: 8773516

Claim:
A video signal processing apparatus which processes, using signals of a first image included in a video, signals of a second image that is an image immediately following the first image, wherein each of the pixels of the first image and the second image is represented as a combination of a signal level of a red color component, a signal level of a green color component, and a signal level of a blue color component, said video signal processing apparatus comprising: a crosstalk canceling unit configured to calculate, for each of the red color component, the green color component, and the blue color component of each of the pixels, a crosstalk component that (i) is produced by the first image and (ii) affects the second image, and subtract the crosstalk component from a corresponding one of the signal levels of the co-located pixel of the second image, to generate a modified second image that includes pixels each represented as a combination of a signal level of a modified red color component, a signal level of a modified green color component, and a signal level of a modified blue color component; and a saturation modification processing unit configured to (i) extract a component having a negative signal level and having the largest absolute value from among the modified red color component, the modified green color component, and the modified blue color component, (ii) update, to 0, the signal level of the extracted component and (iii) add, to the signal levels of the other two color components, an addition value calculated using the absolute value of the signal level of the extracted component.
