    摘要: A high-definition television system in which a production signal is spatiotemporally filtered to remove frequency components and remaining components are transmitted over a channel. In various aspects, the filter produces a generally diamond-shaped frequency response in each of the spatial and spatiotemporal planes; the components selected for transmission are selected in accordance with the amount of motion in the image; the remaining components of image data are transmitted using double-sideband quadrature modulation; a high frequency component of the production signal shares the channel with additional data; and when the image data is transmitted using double-sideband quadrature modulation, baseband signals are derived from closely related areas of the image.

    摘要: Improved effifiency of frequency-modulated (FM) transmission of signals through analog channels, i.e., achievement of a higher bandwidth and/or signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the received signal for a given channel bandwidth and channel carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR), is accomplished by adaptive adjustment of the modulation index in such a manner that the spectrum of the channel signal more nearly occupies the entire channel more of the time than it would otherwise. Data is transmitted, along with the signal, to enable the receiver to calculate the modulation index at each instant so that the signal can be properly demodulated. The invention has application to FM transmission of signals representing visual image or other information, such as sound, for which human perception of noise is greatest in areas of low amplitude and/or frequency and reduced in and immediately adjacent to areas of high amplitude and/or frequency.

    摘要: The color correction system will enhance an operator's ability to edit and correct the appearance of a color image. This system is particularly useful in desk-top publishing applications. A reference image with an overall desired visual impression is displayed on a screen. This reference image is known to print in an acceptable fashion and give a desired visual impression. When the image to be corrected is modified in order to approximate the visual impression of a reference picture, then the picture to be corrected should print acceptably.
