Methods for adjusting sharpness and brightness of digital image
View Patent ↗A method for adjusting sharpness and brightness of a digital image. In this method, an image function is first inputted into a processor. The image function comprises a plurality of control parameters. Next, the control parameter values of the control parameters are set, and then each of the pixels is sequentially leaded into the image function according to the control parameter value so as to perform the corresponding operation for adjusting the sharpness and brightness of the image. Finally, the adjusted image is outputted. Therefore, the two processes in the prior art, one for adjusting the brightness, the other for the sharpness, are merged into one process so that the design of the hardware circuit is simplified and the required memory space is reduced.
1. A method for adjusting sharpness and brightness of an digital image being implemented by a processor, the method comprising the steps of:
selecting a mathematical formula for adjusting the sharpness and brightness of the digital image being stored in the processor from a group of mathematical formula consisting of:

inputting original image data into the processor and leading the original image data into the selected mathematical formula;
inputting a plurality of control parameter values into the selected mathematical formula;
leading each pixel into the image data sequentially so as to perform a corresponding calculation process of adjusting the sharpness and brightness; and
outputting an adjusted image data.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein in the step of inputting a plurality of control parameter values, the inputted parameters include a sharpness control parameter, a brightness control parameter and a sharpness adjustment enable parameter.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein if the sharpness control parameter k 1 >0, then adjustment is a sharpening process performed on the image; otherwise, if the sharpness control parameter k 1 <0, then the adjustment is a blurring process performed on the image.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein if the brightness control parameter k 2 >0, then the adjustment is a brightening process performed on the image; otherwise, if the brightness control parameter k 2 <0, then the adjustment is a darkening process performed on the image.
5. The method of claim 2 , wherein if the sharpness adjustment enable parameter k 3 >0, then sharpness adjustment is disabled; otherwise, if the sharpness adjustment enable parameter k 3 <1, then the sharpness adjustment is enabled.
