Signs of unmarked pixels of the input image are determined according to region features of neighboring pixels of each pixel and pixel update information is recorded to generate a region sign update data table and a region sign feature data table. The pixels of the input frame are further scanned row by row to retrieve signs of the pixels and region signs of the pixels are determined and updated according to the region sign update data table.
