Patent ID: 7876364

Claim:
A false color suppression method for a digital image, performed on a digital camera, for performing a false color suppression action on a plurality of pixels of a digital image shot by the digital camera, the method comprising: separating a luminance part and a chrominance part of the digital image; extracting the chrominance part, and calculating a first color gamut component and a second color gamut component in the chrominance part; setting a critical value according to a photosensitivity during shooting by the digital camera; performing a corresponding pixel uniformization action on the pixel, according to a relative relation between a difference between the pixel and a plurality of adjacent neighboring pixels and the critical value respectively for the first color gamut component and the second color gamut component; and combining the uniformized chrominance part and the luminance part of the digital image to a suppressed image; wherein the pixel uniformization action comprises: when a difference between the first color gamut component of a certain pixel of the digital image and the first color gamut component of the neighboring pixels is greater than or equal to the critical value, reducing the first color gamut component of the pixel through a low pass filter; when the difference between the first color gamut component of a certain pixel of the digital image and the first color gamut component of the neighboring pixels is smaller than the critical value, directly acquiring an average value of the first color gamut component of the pixel and the neighboring pixels, and correcting the first color gamut component of the pixel; when a difference between the second color gamut component of a certain pixel of the digital image and the second color gamut component of the neighboring pixels is greater than or equal to the critical value, reducing the second color gamut component of the pixel through the low pass filter; and when the difference between the second color gamut component of a certain pixel of the digital image and the second color gamut component of the neighboring pixels is smaller than the critical value, directly acquiring an average value of the second color gamut component of the pixel and the neighboring pixels, and correcting the second color gamut component of the pixel.
