I am trying to apply a Image sharpening 2D filter kernel(Laplacian) on a Image in my proprietary Image/Video processing pipeline(From Camera raw to final JPEG/MPEG). I plan to perform 2D convolution of this Laplacian kernel with the 2D image array to sharpen the image. My questions is :-
What is the most suitable colour space to apply this image sharpening filter to get best output image quality
a) Should I apply this filter on each component(R,G, & B) in the RGB space?
or
b)Should I apply this in the YUV space and only on Y component (or should it be also applied on U and V components)?
Any pointers will be useful.
thank you.
