Method and System for Enhancing Color Saturation

Method and system for enhancing color saturation. According to an embodiment the present invention provides a method for enhancing color saturation. The method includes providing a color image characterized by a luminance component and two chrominance components, the color image including a plurality of pixels, the plurality of pixels including a first pixel being characterized at least by a luminance value, a first chrominance value, and a second chrominance value. The method also includes processing the first chrominance value and the second chrominance value. The method further includes determining a saturation level using based on the first chrominance value and the second chrominance value. Moreover, the method includes providing a factor for adjusting the first chrominance value and the second chrominance value, the factor being based on the saturation level. Furthermore, the method includes adjusting the first chrominance value and the second chrominance value using the factor.
