ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for adjusting the saturation levels of the pixels of a time varying image being represented by RGB color sample vectors {right arrow over (C)} in an RGB color system. The method does not require the RGB color sample vectors {right arrow over (C)} to be converted into YUV samples in order to subsequently perform saturation adjustment. The method includes steps of: decomposing an RGB color sample vector {right arrow over (C)} into a white vector {right arrow over (w)} and a color tone vector {right arrow over (C)}T; obtaining a saturation adjusted color tone vector {right arrow over (CTo)} by multiplying the color tone vector {right arrow over (C)}Tby a saturation adjustment parameter; obtaining a saturation adjusted RGB color sample vector {right arrow over (C)}oby adding the white vector {right arrow over (w)} and the saturation adjusted color tone vector {right arrow over (CTo)}; and using the saturation adjusted RGB color sample vector {right arrow over (C)}oto represent a color pixel of an output image.
