COLOUR MATRIX
A programmable 3 × 3 colour matrix (see Fig.6) is used to convert the extracted colour information, R, G and B from the
sensor colour space to a standard RGB colour space.
With B and W sensors, a unity matrix is used.
To control the white balance, the gain of the red and blue stream can be changed.
Gamma and knee are combined in one function with adjustable gain.

YUV PROCESSING
Following the RGB processing, the R, G and B signals are
converted to YUV 4 : 2 : 2 by a fixed matrix (see Fig.7).
Then, the luminance and chrominance signals are
processed separately.
The luminance processing consists of edge enhancement.
This feature is very flexible. First, it is possible to adjust the
bandwidth and the level of the edge detection. Secondly,
the amount of edge enhancement can be independently
adjusted for the horizontal or vertical edge or for the high
or low frequency edge.
The chrominance processing consists of a colour killer
(white clip) and a UV gain control (see Fig.8). Processing
is done on the multiplexed two-times-downsampled
UV chrominance signals. The sensor input is used to kill
the colour of over-exposed pixels. It is possible to adjust
the number of pixels on which the correction is applied.
The YUV processing block concludes with separate gain
controls on the Y, U and V signals. These gains can be
used to fine tune the Y, U and V colour balance and also
to adjust the luminance and saturation without disturbing
the AE and AWB control loops.
