ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for displaying a color image stored in a YUV color format on a display device that generates video in an RGB format. The apparatus uses a frame buffer which stores a color index for each pixel. The index is used to select an RGB color in a color look-up table as the video signal is generated. Each input YUV value is converted to a mapping table index for addressing a pair of the color indices stored in a color space mapping table. To generate the mapping table index, a random number can be added to the Y, U, and V color components, which are then truncated and merged to generate the mapping table index. The color space mapping table is pre-loaded with a color index pairs, each corresponding to two pixels in the frame buffer represented by one input YUV color value. The appropriate color indices are based on the minimum error distance in a three dimensional YUV space, although the error in Y is weighted considerably stronger than U and V, since the human eye is more sensitive to errors in luminance than chrominance.
