ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for enhancing an edge transient contained in a video signal include identifying the edge transient and the edge center of the edge transient in the video signal; selecting a side of the edge transient, relative to an edge center thereof, to enhance; and adding an edge change signal to the video signal to asymmetrically enhance the selected edge transient.
