Patent ID: 7529404

Claim:
An apparatus for performing digital video filtering of a sequence of raster input pixel signals, each respective raster input pixel having, an ordered n-tuple set of values from a video camera or sensors to signify n-tuple color identification of a pixel, the apparatus consisting of the following: a) a digital video synchronization and timing controller that synchronizes to the header of the incoming digital video data bit stream and provides digital timing and control signal required to identify each one of the “n” tuple set of prime colors, and position of each prime color within a pixel timing; a) a prime color digital filter, coupled to receive the intensities of the n-topple sequence of raster input prime signals and map each respective n-topple prime color intensity into a respective prime color memory address each memory address having: a respective memory address within a predetermined memory address range, each predetermined memory address range identifies each prime color of n-tuple input of a multicolored object within as, a multicolored prime identity number of, a group of colors belonging to an object within as; a multicolored object's group identity number; each memory address identifies prime colors of a multicolored object within a group of colors belonging to an object, and within different groups of multicolored objects; b) a spectrum color digital filter, coupled to receive the multicolored object's prime color identity number of, the group of colors belonging to a multicolored object, as an input to a memory address each memory address having: a respective memory address within a predetermined memory address range, each predetermined memory address range identifies each color of n-tuple input of a multicolored object within as, a multicolored identity number of, a group of colors belonging to an object within as; a multicolored object's group identity number; a color identification mark, to denote detection of color within a spectrum of colors; each memory address identifies each color of a multicolored object in the color spectrum within a group of colors belonging to an object, and within different groups of multicolored objects.
