Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for extracting an edge to be used for extracting a feature point of an object in an image. The present invention proposes an image edge extracting apparatus and method that remove noise in an input image, calculate a gradient of an image in a noise-removed image, measure magnitude of the gradient, extract an edge having a maximum thickness value, and then calculate a threshold using a ratio of the extracted edge, and detect a final edge robust against noise based on the threshold.

An apparatus and a method for correcting keystone distortions in a display system are disclosed. A horizontal size generator first receives N horizontal sync signals of an input image and generates N corresponding horizontal output sizes. Each of the output sizes is generated at each sync signal based on a horizontal input size, a vertical size, and a desired keystone factor or each of horizontal keystone offsets of the input image. A format converter then receives said input image and generates an output image. Each line of the output image now has the corresponding horizontal output size.

The present invention relates to an interpolation technology, in particular to a deinterlacing apparatus and a method thereof which are capable of improving the definition of a picture. The method includes detecting an edge direction comprised in perimeter pixel values with inputs of a pixel value of field data in a field region to be interpolated and intra-field perimeter pixel values, detecting a direction indicating a minimum region matching error in accordance with the detected direction, yielding an intra-field interpolation value in accordance with the detected edge direction and performing an interpolation. This reduces the manufacture cost of a circuit by simplifying the circuit.

A format conversion apparatus for a digital TV includes a block division and control signal generating part for dividing an input image into a plurality of blocks according to an input image size data and an output image size data. A format conversion coefficient generating part generates a format conversion coefficient for converting formats per block according to a control signal output from the block division and control signal generating part. A synchronizing signal generating part generates vertical and horizontal synchronizing signals per block according to a control signal output from the block division and control signal generating part. A format conversion part performs format conversion of image input per block according to the format conversion coefficient and the vertical and horizontal synchronizing signals. Vertical and horizontal format conversion of an input image is performed after dividing the image into a plurality of blocks so that buffer memory and bandwidth requirements for performing the format conversion are reduced simultaneously, while easily increasing a number of taps of a vertical filter. This prevents degradation of resolution generated when reducing a size of an image and realizes a high resolution with simple hardware.

A filter, in particular, a finite impulse response (FIR) filter having a variable data input and output rate is disclosed. The FIR filter includes a first-in first-out (FIFO) architectural buffer, an address generator for circularly generating respective addresses for FIFO of data items and providing the addresses to the buffer, a filter for performing filtering on data items having different rates, which are input from the buffer, and outputting one or more data, and a controller for controlling address generation of the address generator and controlling transfer paths of data items for filtering of the filter. It is possible to variably control the input and output rate of filtering data by the FIR filter.
