Abstract

Image data having a plurality of pixel is processed. Each pixel is represented by three color components (RGB) defining a position within color-space. A base color is identified and a distance in color-space between an input color and said base color is calculated. A control value, which may be used as a basis for a chroma-suppress or a chroma-key etc, is produced in response to the calculated distance.
