Abstract
Based on a histogram of saturation of an input video, a saturation conversion function is determined, and, referring to the determined saturation conversion function, the saturation of each pixel of the input video is converted. Alternatively, a saturation conversion coefficient determination function is generated from the histogram, a saturation conversion coefficient is determined from the saturation conversion coefficient determination function and the saturation, and color differences are multiplied by the determined saturation conversion coefficient. Regardless of what saturation distribution the input video has, the saturation can be properly enhanced, and at the same time a high gradation expression can be obtained.
