Abstract
A method for an image adjustment is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: reading an interested pixel and its plural neighboring pixels from an image storage device; determining a so-called first gradient value of the first direction and a so-called second gradient value of the second direction, wherein the first direction is the orthogonal direction of the second direction; comparing the first and the second gradient values; executing a sharpness adjustment to the interested pixel along the direction which has larger gradient value; then executing a noise reduction or smoothing adjustment to the interested pixel along the direction which has smaller gradient value; and repeating the steps until all interested pixels are processed and obtaining a new pixel value.
