摘要:
With the signal electrode of a camera tube uniformly illuminated by diffuse light, scanning of the signal electrode by the electron beam is caused to leave unaffected certain lines or parts of lines which are scanned in the next frame. This may be done by blanking the beam out for a field, a line or part of a line in every two frames, or by shifting the lines of one field to superimpose them on those of the other field for a corresponding interval in every two frames. The video signal occurring when a previously unscanned line or line portion is first scanned is measured and compared with the previous measured value, in response to which the setting of the focussing control is shifted towards a smaller beam spot for a renewed measurement. When the signal rises to a higher magnitude, which would approximate twice the video signal of a normal scan, in the ideal case, the setting procedure is complete.

Dynamic beam current reserve margin in television camera tubes necessary for the neutralizing of bright spots, which is accumulated on the camera tube signal electrode during a multiplicity of successive picture field periods after which a signal electrode is scanned by the electron beam during several field periods in interlaced line pattern and the video signal level of the third field is measured. In this measurement, the signal level is below a first predetermined threshold value, the dynamic beam current reserve is sufficient and the procedure is terminated. The threshold is reached or exceeded, the dynamic rise of the beam current is gradually magnified and further cycles of charge and scanning are performed, this time with measurement of the video signal during the second field. So long as the measured video signal remains below a second predetermined threshold value, the limiting of the beam current rise is magnified until the video signal in a further measurement cycle exceeds the second threshold value. The first and second threshold values are typically 110% of the normal video level and 50% of the video level of the first field respectively.

In a method of separating a foreground picture signal FG from a mixed picture signal MG having a key color KC and transition colors to this key color in key regions, the components of the key color and the transition colors are vectorially subtracted from the mixed picture signal in dependence upon a control signal k which, with a continuous variation, assumes values of between 1 in the region of the key color KC and O at mixed boundaries. Color errors due to a gamma pre-correction are obviated in that the vectorial subtraction is performed in accordance with the equation FG=MG-k*KC(f), in which KC(f) is chosen in dependence upon the color intensity as far as its angle in the C.sub.b /C.sub.r color plane is concerned.
摘要:
A method of inserting a background signal (BG) into parts of a foreground signal (FG), which parts are fixed by a predetermined key color (KC), in which method a control signal (k) is derived from the foreground signal (FG), which control signal assumes a first value when the foreground signal (FG) represents a color in the region of the key color (KC) and a second value when the foreground signal (FG) represents a different color, in which the control signal (k) has a transition range between the two values, and in which a difference, influenced by the control signal (k), between the vector of the background signal (BG) and the vector of a signal (KC) representing the key color is vectorially added to the foreground signal (FG) in accordance with Patent (U.S. patent application Ser. No. P 41 43 180.4), as well as an arrangement for performing this method. A further improvement of the picture quality while using a small number of components is achieved in that the background signal (BG), the signal (KC) representing the key color and the foreground signal (FG) each comprise a component representing the blue component (Cb) and the red component (Cr) as well as a luminance component (Y) and, as regards all their components, the signals are combined in the corresponding, afore-mentioned manner.
摘要:
The signal electrode of a television camera tube by first scanning in an odd-numbered picture field is focussed in horizontal scanning pattern and then superimposing thereon in an even-numbered picture field the scanning pattern offset out of interlace and rotated slightly while at the same time the focussing current for the focussing coil of the electron beam is slightly altered for the even-numbered picture field. Charge patterns with charge maxima are thereby produced in the unscanned zones. The actual alignment is determined by the focus pivot point F that lies in a strip of maximum charge values running obliquely across the scanning pattern. Increasing the focussing current produces, simultaneously, rotation to the left and enlargement of the scanning pattern, resulting in a maximum charge value strip running from upper left to lower right (patterns a, c and e). The reduction of the focussing current, on the other hand, produces rotation to the right and reduction of the scanning pattern size, which last is overcompensated by a supplemental vertical deflection magnitude correction to produce the same size pattern as the pattern rotated to the left when the focussing current was stronger. In this last case, the maximum charge strip runs from upper right to lower left and, as in the previous case, passes through the focus pivot point F. From the location of the point F an alignment correction value is produced and stored and used to correct the current in the alignment coils and the procedure is repeated until the desired alignment (pattens e and f) is obtained.
