ABSTRACT:
A processor for enhancing an input luminance signal including: a circuit for calculating a chroma edge value associated with the input luminance signal; a circuit for measuring a luminance gradient associated with the input luminance signal; a peaking filter for processing the input luminance signal; a gain adjustment circuit having a gain function that is adjustable relative to the calculated chroma edge value, the gain adjustment circuit being operable to adjust the magnitude of the output of the peaking filter wherein: in a first range of luminance gradients, the output is an attenuated version of the input; in a second range of luminance gradients the output is directly proportional to the input; in a third range of luminance gradients, the output is inversely proportional to the input; wherein the enhanced luminance signal is the sum of the input and output of the peaking filter.
