    摘要: A method and apparatus for video signal format conversion are provided which can suppress picture quality deterioration by simple signal processing, and produce high-quality pictures with low cost. A motion compensation frame rate converter (2) detects a motion vector BV by using a block unit motion vector estimation block (5), and generates a pixel unit motion vector PV in mini-block units by using a pixel unit motion vector generator (6). A motion compensation interpolated frame generator (7) generates a compensation vector by using a motion compensation vector generator (10) on the basis of this PV, and generates motion compensation signals by using current and previous frame motion compensation signal generators (8) and (9). A motion compensation signal setter (11) produces a frame rate converted signal S4 by generating interpolated frame signals from the average value of both signals when the difference signal between the absolute values of both compensation signals is smaller than a threshold, or from a frame signal closer to an interpolation frame from the time point of view when it is larger than or equal to the threshold.

    摘要: Herein disclosed is a semiconductor integrated circuit capable of executing processing operations using two-dimensional data in a high parallelism and at a high speed.
    The semiconductor integrated circuit comprises: a two-dimensional memory array (MAR); a parallel data transfer circuit (TRC) for transferring the data read out in parallel through data lines, in parallel to a processing circuit group by selecting the word lines of the two-dimensional memory array; and the processing circuit group (PE) for executing processing operations in parallel by using the data transferred from said parallel data transfer circuit. Each of the processing circuits can make access to the plurality of series word lines of said two-dimensional memory array and the data lines through the parallel data transfer circuit, and the data lines of the two-dimensional memory array, to which a plurality of adjoining processing circuits can make access, have an overlapped range.
    Since the data lines of the two-dimensional memory array, to which the adjoining processing circuits can make access, have an overlapped range, the convolution processing operations or the like can be ex ecuted in parallel for the two-dimensional data stored in the two-dimensional memory array.
