摘要:
High resolution vertical and horizontal components of a high definition video signal are combined with a standard broadcast system video signal, such as the NTSC system, in which high frequency horizontal resolution components are sampled and used to modulate at least a first sub-carrier signal. The first sub-carrier is frequency interleaved onto the standard broadcast signal. Vertical high resolution components are time compressed and time division multiplexed onto top and bottom portions of the standard broadcast signal. The modified broadcast signal can be decoded by a standard receiver to display a standard resolution video image, while receivers designed to decode the modified signal can time division demultiplex the vertical high resolution components and demodulate the horizontal high resolution components, combine these components with the standard components, and generate a high definition video image.

A multiple sub-sampling encoding/decoding system performing interfield and interframe offset sub-sampling of a broad bandwidth television signal. The system compresses the television signal to fit, for example, to the transmission bandwidth of the standard television systems, compensates the transmission characteristics, and achieves the optimal frequency allocation of the modulated transmission signal.

A signal transmission system for high definition television that can handle a second television signal which is superior in quality to a first television signal such as an NTSC (National Television System Committee) television signal. The transmitting end of the system transmits a first television signal including a video signal, audio signals, etc., through a main transmission line, as well as a third television signal including a high definition components obtained as the difference between the second and the first television signal through an auxiliary transmission line. The receiving end of the system receives and synthesizes the first television signal transmitted through the main transmission line and the third television signal transmitted through the auxiliary transmission line to produce the second television signal.

A method and system for multiplexing additional audio information in the form of pulse code modulation (PCM) audio signals onto a television signal. The PCM audio signal is time multiplexed into scanning retrace intervals of the video signal. At a receiver, the bit error rate of the decoded PCM audio signal is compared with a threshold so as to switch the audio output from the PCM audio signal to a conventional FM demodulated audio signal when the bit error rate exceeds the predetermined threshold. In this way, the benefits of both PCM audio and FM audio can be obtained by utilizing the higher immunity of FM signals in low signal-to-noise ratio environments, while the high fidelity PCM audio signal is utilized when the signal-to-noise ratio environment is relatively high.

In an apparatus for detecting movement of a television image in response to frame difference data corresponding to a difference between present frame data and previous frame data, a video signal is divided into a plurality of segmental areas for each frame, a pixel or picture element is selected to represent each of the segmental areas, frame difference data are produced for each of the segmental areas by calculating differences in the position or coordinates of a pixel representative of a segmental area of a previous frame from the respective picture element of the corresponding segmental area in the present frame, and each of the calculated differences smaller than a predetermined magnitude, and which would be characteristic of a stationary background portion of the television image, is omitted from the frame difference data. This is effective to improve the movement vector detection accuracy. The apparatus has a circuit for zeroing the frame difference data, and thereby improving, the movement vector detection reliability when the number of the calculated differences omitted from the frame difference data exceeds a predetermined value.

The picture quality deterioration such as judder caused by TV frame number conversion can be mitigated by selecting either the stationary original picture signal or the motion-compensated interpolated picture signal based on the most adaptive motion vector corresponding to the smallest interframe difference between the original picture signal and the motion-compensated picture signals based on the motion vectors individually detected from divisional picture areas. The effect of this mitigation can be increased by weighting the detected motion vectors and by smoothing the contour between motion-compensated picture areas with the aid of filtering.

Image movement correction is provided in a field conversion television system by deriving simultaneously two fields of a selected number of lines from an original single field and vertically shifting one of the derived fields by 0.5 lines. A movement vector is determined for each field and movement correction is performed based on a current field and a preceding field, in the case of a moving object in the image. If no moving object is present linear approximation is employed to correct for motion caused by the field number conversion. Two memory systems are provided for the two simultaneous fields and also to selectively obtain specific horizontal lines of the current and preceding fields, relative to both simultaneous derived fields. Ultimate selection of a field for display is based upon the detected movement vector.
摘要:
A picture signal processing for converting a wideband high quality picture signal between interlace and sequential scanning systems is effected through a spatio-temporal filter based on multi-dimensional coordinates consisting of at least vertical frequency and temporal frequency axes. A passing region of the spatio-temporal filter is restricted to lower regions of the multi-dimensional coordinates including an origin thereof for separating original picture signal components from unnecessary signal components generated by the scanning conversion in order to maintain the high picture quality. The performance of the spatio-temporal filter is improved in consideration of the motion of the picture and the ambiguous contour of the still picture which is caused by the scanning conversion.
摘要:
In order to reduce radio interference jamming in the same channel exerting from an adjacent broadcasting area when a digitized image signal of, for example, high-definition television utilizing an idle channel in ground broadcasting of television is transmitted, a digital string such as a binary coded image signal is thinned out every predetermined digital period so as to be divided into two groups. Continuous digital strings of two series are formed by converting clock rates of the respective groups and converted into multi-value digits. Intermediate carriers are then modulated with the digital signals of the two series having their requisite bands compressed through quadrature modulation to form modulated carriers, and the modulated carriers are transmitted in bands of two divisional channels which escape from adjacent video and voice carriers, the power of which is responsible for the radio interference in the same channel. The carriers are subsequently received for reconstruction.

There is provided a new glow plug that can be easily determined as to whether or not it is a new article.An additional circuit 12 formed by connecting a diode 13, a fuse 14, and an adjusting resistor 15 in series in this order is connected in parallel to a heating element 11 of a glow plug 1. The diode 13 is provided so as to have an anode located on the positive electrode side of the heating element 11 and a cathode located on the fuse 14 side. In the case of a unit inspection, by applying a positive voltage for test to a heating element negative electrode connecting portion 3a, it is possible to determine whether or not the glow plug 1 is normal without blowing the fuse 14 before the glow plug 1 is used in a vehicle.
