Abstract

One system includes at least one input channel, an octant determining unit, an angle determining unit, and an angle offset unit. Each input channel receives chroma components of image data. The octant determining unit determines which octant a given image data occupies. The angle determining unit determines a hue angle of the given image data within an octant. The angle offset unit adjusts the hue angle for the image data according to the octant the image data was determined to occupy.

Claims (17)

1. An image processing method, said method comprising:

rendering image data with a plurality of primaries;

calculating hue angles of said primaries for rendering said image data;

selecting a chromaticity triangle wherein an input image point resides; and

accessing a multiprimary matrix look-up table to obtain coefficients to convert said image data for rendering upon a display, said coefficients determined according to said chromaticity triangle selected.

2. The image processing method of claim 1 wherein said method further comprises:

comparing the angles of said primaries to the hue angle of the input image point wherein said selecting is done using a selector that comprises a demultiplexer.

3. The image processing method of claim 1 wherein said selecting comprises accessing a look-up table of pre-calculated triangle numbers.

4. An image processing method, said method comprising:

rendering image data with a plurality of primaries;

calculating hue angles of said primaries for rendering said image data;

selecting a chromaticity triangle wherein said image point resides by using a selector comprising a demultiplexer;

comparing the angles of said primaries to the hue angle of an input image point.

5. An image processing method, said method comprising:

rendering image data with a plurality of primaries;

calculating hue angles of said primaries for rendering said image data;

selecting a chromaticity triangle wherein said image point resides by using a selector comprising a look-up table of pre-calculated triangle numbers.
