The disclosure describes an image processing device and an image processing method for obtaining a modified image in real time using FPGA having general processing capacity or hardware circuit of the parallel computation.

Image processing method

An image processing device having a brightness adjustment unit having a unit processing the brightness of each pixel and a frame buffer unfolding each brightness before and after processing, and a color adjustment unit having a unit processing the color of each pixel and a frame buffer unfolding each pixel color before and after processing. The ratio (f) of the brightness of each pixel before and after adjusting is input. When the ratio (f) is equal or larger than a color emphasis parameter (ColorRate), calculates anti-numerical value that subtract the ColorRate from the ratio (f), adds the ColorRate to this anti-numerical value, and multiplies a coordinate value of the color space by the added value. When the ratio (f) is smaller than the ColorRate, multiplies the ColorRate by the coordinate value of the color space, and outputs the color of each pixel to the frame buffer.

Image processing device

This invention provides an image processing method which for noise reduction and sensitization for an ordinary video camera. The noise reduction processing locates a bright pixel and averages brightness by adding the pixel accumulated by ratio in accordance with the geometric series, and to a dark pixel, carrying out the processing of noise reduction which averages brightness by adding the pixel accumulated by ratio in accordance with the geometric series and the processing of sensitization in the condition that a magnification of intensification is greater than 1, determine that the pixel moves or not, if the pixel is moving, it is used to carry out processing of sensitization only, and if the pixel is still, choose it is used to carry out the processing of sensitization and noise reduction.

An image processing device for a still image and for every frame of a moving image includes an uptake unit to take image data of a pixel unit from a captured image of a subject, a histogram generating unit to generate a histogram of the brightness after having disintegrated the data into a particular color space, and a control unit which reads out the image based on a predetermined reading pattern according to color, and sets the brightness of a pixel at a particular position of the reading pattern based on a mean histogram of a pixel removed (lifted) from the particular position in the pattern.

A method of manufacturing charcoal comprising the steps of mixing at least one kind of material selected from the group including coffee pulps, almond husks, orange peelings, walnut shells and bean jam waste etc. with paper sludge, molding the resultant mixture in any desired configuration, and then allowing the resultant moldings to subject to dry distillation at a temperature of about 300.degree. to 600.degree. C. An apparatus for carrying out the abovementioned method comprising a double-walled housing including an inner wall and an outer wall the space between the inner and outer walls being filled with water, the space surrounded by the double-walled housing being divided by a partition wall extending to a predetermined height from the base of the housing into a combustion chamber and a carbonization chamber.
