Method for rendering smooth teletext graphics, when an input teletext page (D1) is to be displayed at a target resolution on a device. The method comprises the steps of:—separating (100) non-text information and text information composing the input teletext page (D1) in order to give as output an intermediate non-text bitmap (D5) at an intermediate resolution and a final text bitmap (D4) at said target resolution;—scaling up (200) the intermediate non-text bitmap (D5) to obtain a final non-text bitmap (D7) at said target resolution, using an advanced up-scaling algorithm; and,—merging (300) the final non-text bitmap (D7) and the final text bitmap (D4) in order to give an output of a rendered bitmap (D) having the target resolution.

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 method of estimating an edge orientation located in a neighborhood of a particular pixel (100) of an image is disclosed. The method comprises creating a set of candidate edge orientations; evaluating the candidate edge orientations by means of computing for each of the candidate edge orientations a match error for a corresponding pair of test groups (104, 106) of pixels, on basis of a difference between pixel values of the test two groups (104, 106) of the corresponding pair of test groups of pixels; and selecting a first one of the candidate edge orientations from the set of candidate edge orientations on basis of the respective match errors and assigning the first one of the candidate edge orientations to a target block of pixels (102). An advantage of the method is that a relatively low number of computations is required. This is achieved because the estimated edge orientation is assigned to a target block of pixels (102).

The invention relates to a method for recursively estimating local vectors from at least one picture taken from an image sequence. To reduce the computational complexity of the estimation method without deteriorating its accuracy, it is proposed that the method comprises the steps of generating a first set of candidate vectors under at least partial use of recursion, selecting candidate vectors from the first set of candidate vectors according to a first criterion to form a smaller second set of candidate vectors, evaluating the candidate vectors of the second set of candidate vectors for a group of pixels based on a second criterion, determining the best vectors from the second set of candidate vectors according to said second criterion and assigning said determined best vectors to a group of pixels that is related to the group of pixels the candidate vectors of the second set of candidate vectors were evaluated for. The invention further relates to a device for recursively estimating local vectors from at least one picture taken from an image sequence, and to a computer program product comprising software code portions for recursively estimating local vectors from at east one picture taken from an image sequence.

A color picture display device having a shadow mask is provided comprising a cathode ray tube (CRT) having a gun (1) for generating at least two electron beams mutually different colors and a display screen (2). The screen has phosphor deposits for emitting light of different colors.

The device further comprises means for diverging the landing points on the screen for at least one of the beams with respect to one of the other beams in a direction other than the scanning direction, and means for interpolation of color video data, used to control the beam intensity, in order to reduce shift errors due to the diverged beams. Further, a method for operation of such a color picture display device is disclosed.

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.
