摘要： A 525i (interlace) signal can be converted into a 1050i signal or a 525p (progressive) signal. A calculating circuit generates pixels of an output picture signal with a linear estimation expression of predictive taps received from a tap selecting circuit and a coefficient received from a coefficient memory. The coefficient memory stores coefficients pre-obtained for individual classes. A class is determined by combining a spatial class corresponding to spatial class taps received from a tap selecting circuit and motion class taps received from a tap selecting circuit. A line sequential converting circuit converts a scanning line structure of an output signal of the calculating circuit 34 and obtains an output picture signal. The output picture signal is designated with a conversion method selection signal. Information corresponding to the selection signal is loaded from an information memory bank to the coefficient memory and registers.

摘要： The present invention relates to an information signal processor and the like preferable for use in the case of converting a format of an image signal or converting an image size. An input image signal Vin (525i signal) is converted into an output image signal Vout (such as 1080i signal, XGA signal, or 525i signal for obtaining an image to be displayed in a different magnification). A class code CL is obtained from tap data selectively extracted from the Vin and corresponding to each pixel (pixel at a target position) within a unit pixel block, which constitutes Vout. A coefficient production circuit 136 produces coefficient data for each class, which is used at the time of calculating the pixel data at the target position, based on the coefficient seed data for each class and phase information h, v about the target position generated in a phase information generation circuit 139. A calculation circuit 127 provides pixel data y1 to yp of the target position according to the estimated equation using the tap data xi corresponding to the target position and the coefficient data Wi corresponding to the class code CL.
