Patent ID: 8559715

Claim:
A method of dynamically and adaptively enhancing user chosen colors of an incoming digital video signal, comprising: forming a saturation 1D-histogram for each of one or more user chosen colors using a current video frame, wherein the current video frame includes a plurality of pixels; dynamically computing a saturation gain for each of the user chosen colors of the current video frame using the corresponding saturation 1D-histogram of the current video frame and a corresponding saturation 1D-histogram and a saturation gain of a previous video frame; determining which one of the dynamically computed saturation gains associated with the user chosen colors to be applied on a per-pixel basis by comparing Hue, saturation and value (HSV) components of each pixel with predefined HSV ranges of various user chosen colors, respectively; and applying the determined saturation gain on the per-pixel basis in the current or a next video frame.
