Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An image processing device includes a region detector configured to receive input image data and to determine a region in which the input image data belongs to among a plurality of regions; and an operation unit configured to perform an operation on the input image data using a coefficient corresponding to the determined region among a plurality of different coefficients, which are predetermined to respectively correspond to the plurality of regions.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An image processing device comprising: a processor configured to receive input image data, determine a region which the input image data belongs to among a plurality of regions, select a coefficient among a plurality of different coefficients that corresponds to the determined region, and perform an operation on the input image data using the selected coefficient, wherein the operation performed by the processor enhances color of the input image data when…
