ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a hue adjusting method for adjusting the hue by executing matrix conversion processing of a color signal and so on.
2. Description of the Related Art
At a processing part used for a camera device and so on, the hue is adjusted by executing matrix conversion to, for example, color signals of the three primary colors. Here, if the color signals of the three primary colors R, G and B, color signals R′, G′ and B′, to which the matrix conversion is executed, and a matrix X are as follows:
P
=
(
R
G
B
)
Q
=
(
R
′
G
′
B
′
)
X
=
(
1
s
t
u
1
v
w
x
1
)
the matrix conversion is represented by an expression (1).
Q=X·P
(1)
As the matrix X comprises six variable matrix coefficients of s, t, u, v, w and x and the color signals are related each other, when one matrix coefficient is changed, another matrix coefficients are also changed. Therefore, a user had to input six matrix coefficients every time when the hue was adjusted and it was inconvenient.
The present invention was performed considering said problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a hue adjusting method and a hue adjusting device that are possible to adjust simply and easily the hue.
