Abstract: Jagged vertical or diagonal transition artifacts in interlaced to line doubled progressive scan converted television signals are detected and areas of the television picture having such artifacts are subjected to vertical averaging such that the resolution of the jagged transitions is reduced, thereby softening, "greying" or "fuzzing" the jagged transitions and causing them to appear smooth. Thus, highly contrasted lines appearing in a sawtooth pattern, which are extremely perceptible, are replaced with a flash of what might be characterized as "fuzziness," which is not perceptible. The eye no longer perceives the jagged artifacts. Moreover, areas of reduced vertical and horizontal resolution, resulting from the vertical averaging, do not create any new artifacts and are not perceived by the eye. Artifacts are detected by comparing pixels in corresponding positions in the scan lines of the line doubled progressively scanned television signal. The detection scheme looks for sawtooth patterns by determining if there are differences among pixels in more than one set of three adjacent lines. When a sawtooth pattern is detected, the uncorrected signal in the sawtooth region of a scan line is faded to a vertically filtered or averaged signal just prior to the onset of the sawtooth artifact region and then faded back to the uncorrected signal just subsequent to the sawtooth artifact region. The sawtooth correction signal, which controls fading to and from a filtered video signal, is expanded in all directions horizontally and vertically somewhat beyond the region of the detected artifact in order to insure that all of the artifact is suppressed.
Abstract translation: 检测到隔行扫描到逐行扫描转换的电视信号的锯齿状垂直或对角线过渡假象，并且对具有这种假象的电视图像的区域进行垂直平均，使得锯齿形转变的分辨率减小，从而软化“变灰”或 “模糊”锯齿状的过渡，使他们看起来顺利。 因此，出现在锯齿形图案中的极其可见的高度对比线被被称为“模糊性”的闪光所替代，这是不可察觉的。 眼睛不再察觉到锯齿状的文物。 此外，由垂直平均所导致的垂直和水平分辨率降低的区域不会产生任何新的伪影，并且不被眼睛感知。 通过比较行倍增逐行扫描的电视信号的扫描线中的相应位置的像素来检测伪像。 检测方案通过确定多于三组相邻行中的像素之间是否存在差异来寻找锯齿形图案。 当检测到锯齿形图案时，扫描线的锯齿区域中未校正的信号刚好在锯齿伪影区域开始之前衰减到垂直滤波或平均的信号，然后在锯齿波之后退回到未校正的信号 神器区域。 控制衰落到滤波视频信号的滤波器的锯齿波校正信号在水平和垂直方向的所有方向上被扩展到稍微超过检测到的伪影的区域，以确保所有的伪影被抑制。

Abstract: A multi-function display controller that includes a source detector unit for determining if the source of an input stream is either film originated source originated or video source originated. A source converter unit for converting the input image stream to a common signal processing format is coupled to the source detector unit. Once converted to the common signal processing format, a determination is made if the input image stream is interlaced or non-interlaced (progressive scan). If the input image stream is interlaced, a de-interlace unit converts the interlaced signal to progressive scan using either motion adaptive or motion compensated de-interlacing techniques. It should be noted that in the described embodiment, motion vectors generated for use by the motion compensated de-interlace can be optionally stored in a memory unit for use in subsequent operations, such as motion compensated frame rate conversion or noise reduction (if any).

Abstract: Video sources from a progressively scanned camera are processed so as to simulate a video source derived from motion picture film. The simulated film source video creates a distinctive "pseudo-film pattern," in which at least some of every SDTV video field has no motion or low motion with respect to corresponding picture areas of the SDTV video field paired with it (occasional rare camera-originated scenes result in a field in which the entire picture has high motion, breaking the pseudo-film pattern). Corresponding picture areas within the pairs of fields having no motion or low motion are merged, in the manner in which interlaced fields derived from the same motion picture frame are merged. Corresponding picture areas within the pairs of fields having high motion are subject to interlace-to-progressive scan conversion processing which is not purely a merger of fields. The result, during a pseudo-film pattern, is a progressively-scanned picture tantamount to that produced by the progressively-scanned camera--no motion and low motion portions of the reproduced picture are very sharp and essentially identical to that of the original camera source, whereas high motion portions of the picture will have lower resolution, appearing slightly "fuzzy." The resulting psychovisual impression is essentially identical to that of an HDTV system which stays progressive all the way from the source to the display, but at a fraction of the complexity and cost.
Abstract translation: 处理来自逐渐扫描的相机的视频源，以模拟源自电影胶片的视频源。 模拟的电影源视频创建了一个独特的“伪电影模式”，其中每个SDTV视频场中的至少一些相对于与它配对的SDTV视频场的相应图像区域没有运动或低运动（偶尔罕见的相机 - 起始场景导致整个图像具有高运动的场，破坏伪胶片图案）。 以不同运动或低运动的场对内的对应的图像区域以从相同运动图像帧得到的隔行场合并的方式被合并。 具有高运动的场对内的对应的图像区域进行逐行扫描转换处理，这不是纯粹的场的合并。 结果，在伪电影模式中，是逐渐扫描的图像，相当于逐渐扫描的相机产生的图像，而不是运动，再现的图像的低运动部分非常清晰，并且与原始相机源的基本相同 ，而图片的高运动部分将具有较低的分辨率，略显“模糊”。 所产生的心理视觉印象基本上与HDTV系统相同，HDTV系统始终保持从源头到显示器的一致性，但是复杂性和成本的一小部分。

Abstract: (1) The analog or digital components (such as RGB, Y/I/Q, Y/U/V, Y/R-Y/B-Y, Y/Cr/Cb, etc.) of a compatible standard-bandwidth 2-1 interlaced television signal, an analog signal, such as a standard NTSC or PAL television signal or a standard format digital signal, such as a digital representation of a standard NTSC or PAL television signal or a digital video signal in one of the 2:1 interlaced CCIR 601 hierarchical formats, is converted from interlaced to progressive scan, the progressive scan frame rate corresponding to the interlaced scan field rate and each progressively scanned frame having twice as many scan lines as in each interlaced field, the conversion often referred to as "line doubling;" (2) the line rate of the progressively scanned signal is increased by interpolation, including appropriate postfiltering (if the line rate of the progressively scanned signal is doubled, the overall effect is often referred to as "line quadrupling" or "line tripling" when the progressively scanned signal scan rate is multiplied by 1.5); and (3) the resulting signal is spectrally expanded in the vertical domain. Vertical bandwidth enhancement simulates a wide bandwidth vertical detail signal. The vertical detail signal is self-derived from the processed compatible signal itself.
