ABSTRACT:
A method for adjusting and limiting a color saturation level S of a color pixel of an input image includes steps of: obtaining a first chrominance value U and a second chrominance value V representing the color pixel of the input image; determining the color saturation level S in dependence on the first chrominance value U and the second chrominance value V; determining a saturation limiting parameter β in dependence on the color saturation level S; obtaining an adjusted first chrominance value by multiplying the first chrominance value U by the saturation limiting parameter β; obtaining an adjusted second chrominance value by multiplying the second chrominance value by the saturation limiting parameter β; and representing a color pixel of an output image with the adjusted first and second chrominance values. The process is repeated for each pixel of each image of the input video signal.
