    摘要: The analog processor can carry out processings independently of the operating temperature and process parameters, in a reliable manner and at high performance levels using fairly simple circuitry. To achieve this independence, the processor is basically implemented and integrated with MOS transistors, has both voltage inputs and outputs, and includes a biasing section which supplies voltage bias signals, of which at least one is substantially the sum of a voltage proportional to the threshold voltage of the MOS transistors and a reference voltage. This reference voltage can be extracted from a reference potential which is stable to temperature and process parameters, for example that produced by a bandgap type of generator. A major feature of the processor according to the invention is the linearity of its input-output characteristic relative to that reference voltage. It follows that it may be advantageous to extract that reference voltage by division from a signal indicating the width of the input signal variation range, thereby to achieve compensation for or independence of variations of this range.

    摘要: A video image decoder architecture for implementing a processing algorithm in the 40-ms mode on high-resolution TV sets, of a kind adapted to handle TV signals being received on respective transmission channels (J,L), which comprises a video signal demultiplexer receiving the transmission channels (J,L); and respective processing blocks for separately handling the signals from each of the channels (J,L). Each processing block includes a video image format converter, a local memory connected to an output of the converter, and at least one median filter and one systolic filter cascade connected after the memory for restoring, by interpolation, signal samples related to successive lines of the video image. A summing node adds the outputs from each processing block so as to obtain a time mean between restored samples of the channels (J,L). This architecture drastically reduces the number of memories required for processing the restored algorithm, as well as reducing overall silicon area requirements for the system. Accordingly, the whole 40-millisecond processing portion may be integrated into a single chip.

    摘要: The filter includes an arithmetical chain of parallel adders alternated with delay elements, and a memory constituted by lines of one-bit cells. Each line is addressable by a decoder controlled by a digital signal to be filtered; each line of memory contains side by side values which correspond to the partial products of successive impulse-response coefficients for a value equal to the line address. The memory additionally includes a number of read amplifiers. The number of read amplifiers is equal to the number of cells of one line in order to read the bits of the addressed. The outputs of the amplifiers are connected to respective parallel inputs of the adders of the arithmetical chain. Each memory line contains these values in two's-complement binary form in words which decrease in length by one bit for each increment of 2 in the characteristic of the coefficients, starting from the one of lowest characteristic. The output of each read amplifier corresponding to the most significant bit of each value is connected to the corresponding input bit line of the associated adder and to all the other most significant input bit lines.

    摘要: A device for filtering electrical signals has a number of inputs arranged spatially at a distance from one another and supplying respective pluralities of input signal samples. A number of signal processing channels, each formed by a neuro-fuzzy filter, receive a respective plurality of input signal samples and generate a respective plurality of reconstructed samples.

    摘要: The fuzzy filtering of a noise signal comprising a plurality of signal samples [s(t,k)] is carried out using as variables the variation of the signal in the considered window and the distance of the samples from a sample to be reconstructed, to distinguish the typical variations of the original signal from those due to the noise and to identify the signal fronts. The method comprises the steps of defining a current signal sample [s(t)] from among the plurality of signal samples, calculating a plurality of difference samples [D(t,k)] as the difference in absolute value between the current signal sample and each signal sample and defining distance values (k) between the current signal sample and each signal sample. The method further comprises determining weight parameters [P(k)] on the basis of the difference samples and the distance values by means of fuzzy logic and weighing the signal samples with the weight parameters so as to obtain a reconstructed signal sample [o(t)].

    摘要: An interpolation filter for video signals includes four circuits to improve video quality in both intra-field and inter-field modes. The interpolation filter is configured to interpolate according to the direction of an image edge. The interpolation filter is also configured to interpolate in a prescribed spatial direction when no image edges can be univocally determined. The first circuit detects an image edge of discrete image elements to generate a first signal. The second circuit uses output from the first circuit to generate a first signal corresponding to an average of the discrete image elements along a direction of the image edge. The third circuit uses output from the first circuit to detect a texture image area wherein an image edge cannot be univocally determined and for generating a second signal depending on a degree of existence of the image edge. The fourth circuit is supplied by the first signal, the second signal and a third signal. The fourth circuit generates an output signal obtained by combining the first signal with the third signal in a proportion dependent upon the second signal. Additionally, the fourth circuit is configured for multiplexing to selectively couple the third signal to a fourth signal, corresponding to an average of the discrete image elements along a prescribed direction, or to a fifth signal corresponding to a previously received image element value.
