摘要:
The invention relates to a method and a circuit arrangement to reduce motion blur of images shown in non-stroboscopic display devices, in particular Liquid Crystal Display Panels (LCDs). Thin Film Transistor Displays (TFTs), Colour Sequential Displays. Plasma Display Panels (PDPs), Digital Micro Mirror Devices or Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) displays, in which motion vectors depending on moving components in each image of an input video, signal are calculated, in which anti-motion blur filtering of the input video signal is performed based on the calculated motion vectors to produce an output video signal, and in which images are generated on said display device depending on said output video signal. In order to provide an improved spatial filtering with less noise enhancement and less noise modulation, it is proposed that edge characteristics in each image of the input video signal are determined and that anti-motion blur filtering is further based on said determined edge characteristics. In this way, spatial filtering is concentrated on significant parts of an image only, and both noise enhancement and noise modulation are reduced.

The invention relates to a method and a device to increase the resolution of an image by interpolating along edges of the image. Edges are detected and their direction is calculated (10). The interpolation (12) of new pixels is carried out along the direction of the edges. According to the invention, a pre-filter (8) is used with a high-pass filtering in the direction in which new pixels are interpolated, and a low-pass filtering in another direction.

A display unit displays an image on a display screen like a plasma display panel in a number of sub-fields. The display unit is arranged to control the intensity values of one of the color values of a pixel, in particular to control whether the highest weighted sub-field is switched on or off, by changing that color signal. The effect of this change on the luminance of the pixel is compensated by a change to one or both of the other color signals.

In a method of locating problem areas in an image signal (I), a motion vector field (Df) is estimated for the image signal (I), and edges are detected in the motion vector field (Df). In a corresponding method of interpolating images between existing images (I), image parts are interpolated (MCI) in dependence upon a presence of edges; preferably, an order statistical filtering (med) is used at edges.

Image information is stored into a memory device (FMORG) which is controlled in such a manner that only image information from a movement phase different from the movement phase of the image information already stored in the memory device (FMORG), is stored into the memory device (FMORG), whereby the memory device (FMORG) provides image information from a movement phase which differs from a movement phase of the image information by a fixed number of movement phases, even when the image information contains repeated movement phases.

摘要:
A method of facilitating obtaining a first signal, for analysis to characterize at least one periodic component, includes obtaining two second signals representative of intensities of electromagnetic radiation. The first signal is at least derivable from an output signal obtainable by applying a transformation to the second signals such that any value of the output signal is based on values from each respective second signal at corresponding points in time. The method further includes obtaining a value of a variable determining influences of components of respective second signals on the output signal when the signals corresponding to the second signals are captured and the transformation is applied, by (i) analyzing the first, second and/or the output signals to select a value of a parameter corresponding to a respective one of the variables; or (ii) calculating values of at least one time-varying factor corresponding to a respective one of the variables.
