摘要:
A method and apparatus uses a spatial filter for a television recording and playback system using a spectral folding process, wherein the signal is modulated onto a folding carrier of (f h /2, f v /2), for separating the two-dimensional image spectral domain of the television signal into first and second regions that are either passed or attenuated, the partition between the regions being selected such that every point in the passed region has a mirror point mirrored about (f h /4, f v /4) in the attenuated region; and reconstructing the passed region after playback.

A video signal recording system is disclosed which includes a circuit (80) for generating a control signal representative of the level of the high frequency portion of a full bandwidth luminance signal. An adaptive deemphasis circuit (10) reduces the level of the high frequency portion of the luminance signal in response to the control signal. A folding circuit (20) folds the high frequency portion of the deemphasized luminance signal into the low frequency portion. The folded deemphasized luminance is combined with the control signal and recorded on the video tape. A video signal playback system is disclosed which includes a circuit (50) for separating the previously recorded control signal from the previously recorded folded deemphasized luminance signal. An unfolding circuit (60) unfolds the played back luminance signal to produce a wide bandwidth deemphasized luminance signal. An adaptive reemphasis circuit (70) boosts the level of the high frequency portion of the unfolded luminance signal in response to the separated control signal.

An improved video signal recording system for recording a full bandwidth video signal on a limited bandwidth medium includes an encoder 10, coupled to an input terminal 5, for adaptively processing a composite video signal in response to a motion representative signal, and producing two signals; a luminance signal Lr, having attenuated high frequencies subsampled so as to be folded into a spectral hole in the low frequencies, and being bandwidth limited to the limited bandwidth of the recording medium, and a combined signal C+Mr including a chrominance and a motion component. Luminance signal recording circuitry 20 records the folded luminance signal on the medium, and chrominance signal recording circuitry 30 records the combined chrominance and motion signal on the medium. An improved video signal playback system for reproducing such a prerecorded video signal is also disclosed. The playback system consists of a luminance signal playback circuit 60 for retrieving the prerecorded luminance signal Lpb from the medium, and a chrominance signal playback circuit 80 for retrieving the prerecorded combined chrominance and motion signal C+M from the medium. A decoder 70 extracts the motion signal and the chrominance signal from the combined chrominance and motion signal and an unfolding circuit extracts the luminance high frequencies from the prerecorded folded luminance signal and adaptively regenerates the full bandwidth luminance signal in response to the motion signal. This regenerated full bandwidth luminance signal is combined with the chrominance signal to reproduce the originally recorded composite video signal. A recording medium previously recorded by such a recording system is capable of being played back on a standard playback system without objectionable artifacts in the reproduced image.

A system is disclosed for recording and reproducing a luminance signal (Y) on and from a medium (40). The system includes an adaptive deemphasis circuit (10) for adaptively reducing the level of a high frequency portion of the luminance signal (Y). A record circuit records the reduced level luminance signal on the medium (40). A playback circuit reproduces the reduced level luminance signal from the medium (40). A reemphasis circuit (70) non-adaptively boosts the level of the high frequency portion of the reduced level luminance signal to produce the luminance signal (Y). To this end, a circuit (73) cores a high frequency portion of the reduced level luminance signal, and the level of the cored high frequency portion is then boosted by a predetermined amount to produce the luminance signal (Y).

An image compression encoding and decoding method and apparatus therefor is disclosed in which DC coefficients of a DCT block are scalar-quantized and AC coefficients are classified-vector-quantized (CVQ), and respective DCT blocks are classified by the least value of the square of the result that horizontal AC coefficients and vertical AC coefficients are subtracted from a representative value of a preset reference class. Using a multilevel compression method, lowest level codes are vector-partitioned by P-units with respect to each classified DCT block, and code books of representative vectors corresponding to the partitioned vectors are provided. Indices of corresponding representative vectors in respective code books and the classified codes are taken as encoding data corresponding to AC coefficients to keep a constant number of bits. Code books of S-units of representative vectors corresponding to errors are provided again, and corresponding indices and parity data in the respective code books are provided thereby performing a multi-level-classification-vector-quantization to be encoded. Decoding is performed in the reverse sequence of encoding. During a high speed search, only the lowest level codes having a constant number of bits are decoded regardless of the complexity of the picture.

摘要:
An apparatus for the tape recording of a video signal, which is a signal of a bandwidth extending up to a prescribed maximum frequency, processes this signal to generate a folded-spectrum signal. The video signal is digitized and supplied to a digital band-splitting filter (90,91,92) with a cross-over frequency at one-half said prescribed maximum frequency, for separating the digitized video signal into samples of a lower-frequency-band component and into samples of a higher-frequency-band component. A balanced modulator (98,99,100) is connected for modulating a folding carrier wave of the prescribed maximum frequency. The modulation is done in accordance with the higher-frequency-band component to generate a balanced modulation signal, which is linearly combined with the lower-frequency-band component to generate the folded-spectrum video signal. Preferably, the sampling rate of the digitized video signal is exactly the Nyquist rate of the prescribed maximum frequency, thereby reducing the balanced modulation of a suitably phased folding carrier wave to multiplication of successive samples of the modulating signal alternately by plus one and by minus one.
