摘要:
A film/video detector includes circuitry for generating the differences between corresponding pixel values in successive frames of video signal. These differences are accumulated over respective frame intervals. Accumulated values for respective frames are applied to a signal averager and to a correlation circuit. Average values from the averager are subtracted from correlation values from the correlation circuit, and film mode signal is indicated if the latter differences are greater than a predetermined value.

A widescreen television signal containing center panel information and time compressed side panel information in an overscan region is intraframe processed above a given frequency only with respect to the center panel information. The intraframe processing apparatus includes a signal delay network with first and second 262H delay elements coupled between an input and an output of the delay network. During a first field interval, signals from the delay input and from an intermediate point between the delay elements are subtractively combined to produce a difference term which is coupled to a signal path. During a second field interval, signals from the delay output and from the intermediate point are subtractively combined to produce a difference term which is coupled to the signal path. An intraframe processed output signal is produced by combining the difference terms from the signal path with a signal from the intermediate delay point. A filter and an electronic gate in the signal path determine frequency selective intraframe processing of the center panel information alone.

An NTSC compatible, single channel widescreen EDTV system encodes and decodes a television signal comprising (1) a main, standard format NTSC signal with auxiliary low frequency side panel image information compressed into an overscan region thereof; (2) auxiliary high frequency side panel image information; and (3) auxiliary high frequency horizontal luminance information. At an encoder, components 2 and 3 are intraframe averaged before modulating an alternate subcarrier. Component 1 is intraframe averaged above a given frequency before being combined with the modulated alternate subcarrier.

In a cathode ray tube, plural electron beams are directed towards a faceplate biased at screen potential and are magnetically scanned by a non-self-converging deflection yoke across the faceplate to impinge upon phosphors thereon to produce light depicting an image. The plural electron beams are substantially converged near two opposing edges of the faceplate. A processor changes the raster of the image from a first raster corresponding to position of the image to a second raster corresponding to the position of the plural electron beams on the faceplate. One or more electrodes between the tube neck and the faceplate are biased above and/or below screen potential to deflect electrons landing near the periphery of the faceplate.

A channel is inserted into a sequence of frames for an image, by varying one or more display characteristics across a display in accordance with a spatio-temporal pattern applied to, for example, successive lines of each modified frame. The channel may be employed to watermark the image, and the watermark may be defined as W(x) and its complement [1−W(x)] in counter-phase rotations of successive lines in pairs of frames. The watermark information is applied in relatively still portions of the image with sufficient lightness level. A receiver includes a watermark detector that has a priori information about the watermark. The watermark detector examines specific regions of the displayed image over time, and tests the regions for the watermark during time intervals when the image remains relatively still.

In a widescreen signal encoding system for a television-type signal, side panel chrominance information is not subjected to time compression in an overscan region such as a horizontal overscan region containing time compressed low frequency side panel luminance information. Both low and high frequency side panel chrominance information, and high frequency side panel luminance information, modulate an auxiliary subcarrier.

In a system for encoding a widescreen video signal containing left side, right side and center panel image components and luminance (Y) and chrominance (I,Q) information, first and second encoded signals containing side panel high frequency components ("highs") are generated simultaneously for each horizontal image line. Left and right chrominance side panel highs I.sub.L, I.sub.R and Q.sub.L, Q.sub.R remain in their respective horizontal spatial positions in the first and second signals. Left and right luminance side panel highs Y.sub.L, Y.sub.R are time expanded and spatially shifted to fill the gap between the chrominance highs in the first and second signals. Thus the first signal contains the side panel highs in the sequence I.sub.L,Y.sub.L,I.sub.R, and the second signal contains the side panel highs in the pattern Q.sub.L,Y.sub.R,Q.sub.R.
摘要:
A widescreen television system compatible with a lesser aspect ratio standard television system employs a panning operation using a circular-shift method to keep a 4.times.3 aspect ratio panning window (area of primary interest) centered for display purposes. Illustratively, when the panning window is shifted left by a given amount at the widescreen signal source, a corresponding portion of right sidepanel image information is "cut" and "pasted" alongside left sidepanel image information so that the panning window remains substantially centered with respect to side panel information. A reverse cut-and-paste operation is performed at a widescreen receiver to restore the original widescreen spatial format. A standard 4.times.3 aspect ratio receiver processes and displays the centered panning window information normally, unaffected by the panning operation at the widescreen signal source.

A system for encoding a progressive scan widescreen EDTV signal so as to be compatible with a standard NTSC receiver develops an auxiliary signal containing vertical-temporal information derived from image frame difference information of the progressive scan signal. The auxiliary signal facilitates the conversion of the encoded NTSC compatible signal to pro-scan format in a widescreen progressive scan receiver.
摘要:
The luminance component of a video signal is processed to produce a luminance component with groups of mutually exclusive spatially correlated image pixels of identical value within each group. In one embodiment each group comprises vertically averaged pixels 1H apart within a field. In another embodiment each group comprises vertically averaged pixels apart within a frame. The chrominance component is similarly processed. The processed luminance and chrominance components are combined using an invertible algorithm involving additive and subtractive signal combination. At a decoder, the inverse of the combining algorithm is used to separate the combined signal into its constitutent luminance and chrominance component parts, without luminance-chrominance crosstalk.
