Perception of flicker in interlaced video images is suppressed by testing each pixel in an image for an intensity value below a first predetermined threshold; modifying, for each tested pixel, an intensity value representation for each nearest neighbour pixel along a first axis of said interlaced image having an intensity value exceeding a second predetermined threshold, if the intensity value of the tested pixel is below the first predetermined threshold; and displaying, on a video display device, an interlaced image generated by the steps of testing and modifying.

A video signal processing apparatus comprises a digital filter (118) for passing a specific frequency band of a digitized input luminance signal; non-linear processing means (122) for non-linearly processing the signal passed through said digital filter (118); and arithmetic means (123) for mixing said digitized input luminance signal directly or after delayed by a specific time with an output signal of said non-linear processing means, wherein the passing band component of said digital filter (118) is suppressed or emphasized depending on the input signal amplitude of said non-linear processing means. An embodiment for two-dimensional processing is also disclosed using a plurality of filters and a plurality of non-linear processing means with a single arithmetic means for mixing the outputs of the non-linear processing means.

Reduction of noise in an electrical, e.g. television, signal is achieved by comparing signals from successive scans to produce a difference signal. Low amplitude differences are assumed to represent noise and are attenuated. Differences above a predetermined level are assumed to represent movement and are not so attenuated. The attenuation is achieved by a multiplier (26) which receives as multiplier the output of a non-linear transfer characteristic element (24). The non-linear element receives the differences after rectification (100) and after passing through a variable-gain element (102). The non-linear element (24) is such that above a predetermined value a constant predetermined minimum attenuation factor applies. A noise measurement circuit (X) measures the noise present in the difference signal and controls the gain of the variable-gain element (102) accordingly. Several noise-measurement circuits may be provided. a selected one of which is used in dependence upon the magnitude of the input signal to the apparatus.

Zur Kontrastregelung in Fernsehempfängern ist es nötig, die in der Bildröhre flirßenden Kathodenstrahlströme zu messen. Bei den bisher bekannten Meßverfahren treten Meßfehler auf, die auf kapazitive Lasten in der Endstufe, in den Zuleitungen zur Bildröhre und in der Bildröhre selbst zurückzuführen sind. Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung werden diese Meßfehler dadurch stark reduziert, daß der Strahl strom und die durch kapazitive Lasten verursachten positi ven und negativen Halbwellen des zur Steuerelektrode der Bildröhre fließenden Wechselstromanteils aufsummiert wer den, daß das Summensignal tiefpaßgefiltert und daß die dem Kathodenstrahlstrom proportionale Meßspannung am Ausgang des Tiefpaßfilters abgegriffen wird.

@ The video signal processing apparatus of the present invention is comprized of a video signal dividing circuit for dividing the input video signals into N channels, and a signal combining circuit for combining these N-channel signals into the original unitary channel signals. There is disclosed an appararus for dividing video signals, wherein, in the process of dividing input video signals into N-channel signals, the input video signals are written into a memory while write address control is performed in dependence upon clock signals of the input video signals. These N-channel signals represent N signal subsections divided from a section corresponding to a predetermined unit time duration of the input video signals. Signals are read out from these subsections starting from the foremost data of each said subsection as read-out address control cycles sequentially through these subsections. N latch circuits are used for sequentially latching signals read out from the memory with the aid of N latch pulses each having a frequency equal to 1/N times the clock signal frequency and phase-shifted relative to one another by a duration equal to the clock signal period. The output signals from the N latch signals are taken as said N-channel signals. There is also disclosed a signal combining or restoration circuit, wherein, in the process of effecting image processing of said N-channel signals as required, separately compressing the processed signals along time axis and recombining the resulting signals into single-channel signals, the N-channel signals are written into the memory as control cycles sequentially through the respective channels, and the N-channel signals thus written into the memory are read out in the original signal sequence.
摘要:
Video is applied via a gain controlled IF amplifier (11) to a video detector (13) and amplifier (15). Sync and equalising pulses are fed from the amplifier to an active filter (21-26) and then to a comparator (30), which produces an output variation for changing an AGC voltage produced by generator (40) and AGC capacitor (41) if the pulse peaks exceed a threshold. The filter (21-26) delays and attenuated noise impulses, but can also cause noise impulses to remain above the threshold for a period of time defined by pulse stretching in the filter. A transistor (32) is responsive to a potential difference of predetermined sense and magnitude between the input and output of the filter to curtail the output variation of the comparator (30). Such a difference exists when a delayed leading edge of a noise pulse is present at the output of the filter and the trailing edge is at the input.
摘要:
A video signal processor is disclosed which detects (20) the presence of a complementary-color vertical transition, for instance by detecting that a given line has color information represented by a color vector at a given phase angle, and that the preceding line has color information represented by a color vector at the same phase angle to obtain an indication of the presence of a complementary-color vertical transition. If a complementary-color vertical transition is detected, then the comb filtered luminance and chrominance signals are selectively coupled (30) to the luminance and chrominance processing channels (40, 50) so that the chrominance processing channel (50) receives primarily color information and the color information is excluded from the luminance processing channel (40). This counteracts the adverse effects of the complementary-color vertical transition.
