Abstract: A method for measuring motion at a horizontal and vertical position between video fields of opposite parity comprising the steps of measuring the signal values of at least two vertically adjacent pixels from a video field of one parity and at least two vertically adjacent pixels from a video field of the opposite parity such that when taken together, the pixels represent contiguous samples of an image at said horizontal and vertical position, and determining whether the signal value of any of the pixels lies between the signal values of adjacent pixels in the field of opposite parity and in response outputting a zero motion value, otherwise, outputting a motion value equal to the lowest absolute difference between any of the pixels and its closest adjacent pixel in the field of opposite parity.

Abstract: An over-sampled sequence detector operates on sampled data and tracks the detection reliability of the sampled data. The detector separately analyzes sample sequences for different sampling phases and then picks a sample sequence that allows for the most reliable detection. For the different sampling phases, the detector inspects some amount of look-behind and look-ahead information in order to improve upon simple symbol-by-symbol detection. The over-sampled information is used to further improve detection performance.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for computing motion vectors in a digital video sequence are disclosed. A recursive hierarchical method is used to determine a motion vector by using multiple resolution levels of the image frames. A best motion vector is first determined for the lowest resolution level. The best motion vector is propagated to a higher resolution level, where some adjustments are made and a new best motion vector is determined. The new best motion vector is propagated to yet another higher resolution level, where more adjustments are made and another new best motion vector is determined. This process is repeated until the highest, original, resolution level has been reached and a best motion vector has been identified. The identified best motion vector at the original resolution level is used for performing motion compensation.

Abstract: The invention provides for calculating the sum of the luminance values of all pixels in each of a number of regions making up the whole image. A histogram is then created of all the sums of luminance at the end of each frame. The histogram is then rescaled such that the luminance range is normalized. Once the histogram has been created, an appropriate transfer function is created using the integrated luminance histogram for the frame. In this way detail within significant objects in the image are enhanced since the average luminance of objects in an image are weighted more than then the luminance of individual pixels providing a more realistic transfer function.

Abstract translation: 本发明提供用于计算构成整个图像的多个区域中的每一个中的所有像素的亮度值之和。 然后，在每个帧的结尾处创建所有亮度之和的直方图。 然后将直方图重新缩放，使得亮度范围被归一化。 一旦创建了直方图，就可以使用该帧的集成亮度直方图来创建适当的传递函数。 以这种方式，增强图像中重要对象内的细节，因为图像中的对象的平均亮度被加权多于提供更逼真的传递函数的各个像素的亮度。

Abstract: A method and apparatus used to step and correct the position of raster lines in a sinusoidal or zig-zag deflection system. By combining the magnetic flux generated with a rotation “twister” coil and a vertical deflection coil, scan lines can be uniformly spaced and separated nearly to their ends. Accordingly, the magnetic flux generated with the twister coil is adjusted going in the left to right direction then reversed in polarity and readjusted while returning from right to left. It is this controlled twister flux that combines with the linear vertical deflection flux to straighten and then step each scan line to produce an aligned raster.
