Patent ID: 8879002

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving a video signal that includes fine detail edges and large edges, wherein the large edges have a greater transition in the image relative to the fine detail edges; differentiating, based on the greater transition, the large edges in the video signal from the fine detail edges in video signal; enhancing the fine detail edges in the video signal without enhancing the large edges in the video signal to yield a first detail-enhanced signal; scaling the first detail-enhanced signal to convert the first detail-enhanced signal from a first display resolution to a second display resolution; scaling the video signal including both the fine detail edges and the large edges to convert the video signal from the first display resolution to the second display resolution; enhancing the large edges in the scaled video signal without enhancing the fine detail edges in the scaled video signal to yield a second detail-enhanced signal; and combining the first detail-enhanced signal with the second detail-enhanced signal.
