Abstract

A cost effective three-dimensional color gamut mapping architecture is described. The conventional three-dimensional reduced resolution look-up table is considered and the concept of three-dimensional reduced resolution difference look-up table is introduced for cost effective and real-time color gamut mapping. The overall architecture uses one-dimensional memory decomposition of three-dimensional gamut mapping look-up table, three-dimensional interpolation and simple addition operation for generating the final gamut mapped colors. The required computational cost is greatly reduced by look-up table resolution adjustment and further reduced by the gamut mapping rule modification. The proposed architecture greatly reduces the required memory size and hardware complexity compared to the conventional method and it is suitable for real-time applications. The proposed hardware is suitable for FPGA and ASIC implementation and could be applied to the real-time display quality enhancement purposes.

본 논문에서는 실시간 색역 사상을 위한 3차원 룩업 테이블을 좀더 효과적으로 구현하기 위한 하드웨어 구조를 제시하였다. 기존의 해상도 절감 3차원 룩업 테이블에 대해서 기술하고 하드웨어의 구조를 간소화시킨 해상도 절감 3차원 차분 룩업 테이블의 개념을 소개한다. 새로 제안하는 3차원 차분 룩업 테이블의 경우 기존의 방법과 같이 3차원 룩업 테이블을 8개의 1차원 룩업 테이블로 분해하여 구성하며 색역 사상 규칙은 현재 입력 영상 값과 색역 사상된 출력 값과의 차분 값만을 저장시키고 삼차원 보간 이후에 최종적으로 덧셈기를 추가함으로써 구성한다. 이를 통하여 필요로 하는 하드웨어의 양을 더욱 감축시킬 수 있으며 기존의 방법에 비해서 좀 더 고속으로 구현이 가능하다. 새로 제안된 하드웨어 구조는 FPGA나 ASIC으로 쉽게 구성이 가능하며 실시간 화질 개선의 용도로 쉽게 적용이 가능하다.
