摘要:
A special effect apparatus temporally enlarges an input video signal so as to reduce edge intrusion caused by a type of special effect processing and to eliminate color fading due to different sampling frequencies for the luminance and chrominance components of a video signal. The temporally enlarged video signal is formed by sequential selection among three signals: a reference video signal, a preceding video signal which temporally leads the reference video signal and a trailing video signal which temporally lags the reference video signal. Portions of the preceding and trailing video signals are appended to the reference video signal to produce the temporally enlarged video signal which can be processed to create a special effect devoid of edge intrusion.

In an image transformation system, an image formed by the inputted video signal is stored in a memory to be read out by the read address of a predetermined read address generating circuit, so that a predetermined image transformation is performed to the image, by merging the mirror processing upon the orthogonal coordinates and the mirror processing upon the polar coordinates. As a result, a transformation image that looks as if it is seen through a kaleidoscope can be obtained.

In an image transforming apparatus for performing the predetermined image transform for the image, the image formed by input video signal is stored in a memory, and the input video signal in the memory is read out in accordance with the predetermined read address data of the read address generating means, so that the special effect as if the image bursts is obtained. The random number generator is added to the read address generating means, and the extension of image and the value of random numbers to be added are controlled based on the data corresponding to the angle for the center of effect, so that the burst effect as if the picture elements scatter separately can be obtained.

A video signal combining apparatus for combining at least three video signals (V.sub.A, V.sub.B, V.sub.C) including a key signal (K.sub.A, K.sub.B, K.sub.C) and depth signal (Z.sub.A, Z.sub.B, Z.sub.C) includes at least two cascade-connected 2-input combiners (1, 2) which combine two of the video signals so that the output of a preceding stage becomes one input of the next stage; a decision circuit (3) which decides on a pixel by pixel basis on an order of arrangement in a depth direction among images from the depth signal of the input video signals; and a switching circuit (4) which rearranges the input video signals in an order of arrangement based on the result of decision of the decision circuit (3) and outputs the result in a parallel manner to the inputs of the above-described combiners (1, 2) so that the video signals are sequentially combined in the decided order of arrangement.
摘要:
A luminance and chrominance signal separator includes a linear and a non-linear type vertical comb filters which receives a digital composite video signal having the luminance and chrominance signal. The linear and the non-linear type vertical comb filter is selectively used in response to correlation detection between successive vertical lines of the digital composite video signal so that both color smear and aliasing noise are eliminated. If necessary, a linear and a non-linear type horizontal filters are further provided wherein one is selectively used in response to a correlation detection result between successive picture elements of the digital composite video signal so that the cross-color component can be eliminated.
