The present invention provides an image signal processing apparatus and a method thereof in which each of the fields forming the unit-frame is specified, with respect to the inputted image signal, based on a difference value calculated in signal level between a detected pixel in a current field and a detected pixel at the same position in a field which comes one frame behind the current field, a motion vector for a field which comes two frames behind the current field is detected, with respect to the detected pixel in the current field, the detected pixel is shifted, with respect to the specified first field, in a direction opposite to the motion vector within the range of the detected motion vector, the detected pixel is shifted, with respect to the specified fourth field, in a direction along the motion vector, and the detected pixels is shifted, with respect to the specified second and third fields, so as to make the pixels gradually closer to the pixel position shifted with respect to the fourth field, in the consecutive order of the fields from the first field, in the direction along the motion vector or in the direction opposite to the motion vector.

A vector motion detector is provided which corrects the quantity of a motion vector determined with the block matching technique between a reference block taking a reference pixel extracted from a current frame as its origin and a search block extracted from a reference frame and moving within or along the circumference of a search range and which is outside the search range. The vector motion detector makes the motion vector quantity correction so that the motion vector will fall within the search rang. Thus, it can provide a smooth motion of even an image that moves fast.

It is determined whether each block (51) including a plurality of pixels extracted from a basic field (30) has an edge or not, and then which state, stationary or non-stationary, each of the pixels forming together the block (51) determined to have an edge is. There is calculated an absolute value of a difference between a pixel determined to be non-stationary and a pixel (91 or 92) in each pixel position in a reference field (40) or pixels (82 to 85) included in the reference field and adjacent to the non-stationary pixel, and a correlation is found between such pixels in consideration according to the calculated difference absolute-value. A motion vector is determined by the block matching method according to results of the determination, and allocated to each of the pixels. Thus, the motion vector of each block is corrected to an accurate one of each of the pixels.

An FIR filter and setting method of filter coefficients thereof enabling the prevention of breakdown of equi-ripple of weighted approximation error and preservation of gain of the pass band into approximately constant. The setting method includes five steps. The initial setting step is that setting of the FIR filter, setting of the band, setting of coefficients of a pre-filter, and setting of initial extreme value point. The first step is that interpolation polynomial equation is generated for interpolating amplitude characteristic from the present extreme value point of the amplitude characteristic of the frequency. The second step is that a new extreme value point is determined from the amplitude characteristic obtained from the interpolation polynomial equation that is obtained in the first step. The third step is that judgement is performed whether or not position of the extreme value is approximated within required range while repeating the first step and the second step. The fourth step is that finding of the filter coefficients is performed from the approximated amplitude characteristic obtained in the third step.

An image signal processing apparatus according to the present invention receives an image signal inputted thereto that is generated by subjecting a telecine-converted image to double speed conversion, in which signal one film frame is formed by four fields, identifies a first field on the basis of a difference value calculated between pixel signal levels, and shifts the position of a detected pixel in a vector direction of a motion vector such that an amount of shift is progressively increased as transition is made from the identified first field to the subsequent fields.

An information processor 1 used as a processor in a personal computer for example includes an inner-product operational unit 3 which effects an SIMD type inner-product operation. The result of the inner-product operation effected in the inner-product operational unit 3 is stored into a P register 15 in the form of a word. A shift and shifting unit 16 reads the result of the inner-product operation stored in the P register 15, shifts the result by an arbitrary number of bits and then clips it with the arbitrary number of bits, and stores the result into a Y register 17 as a sub-word.

Inter-field-interpolation spatial transition is calculated based on the sum of absolute values of differences between pixel values of an inter-field-interpolated pixel and adjacent pixels on the same field. Inter-field-interpolation temporal transition is calculated based on the sum of absolute values of differences between pixel values of the inter-field-interpolated pixel and pixels at corresponding positions on previous delayed field and present field. Intra-field-interpolation temporal transition is calculated based on the sum of absolute values of differences between pixel values of an intra-field-interpolated pixel and the pixels at the corresponding positions on the previous delayed field and the present field. The amounts of error in the interpolated pixels are calculated based on information of the inter-field-interpolation spatial transition, inter-field-interpolation temporal transition, and intra-field-interpolation temporal transition, and a pixel is generated by switching between inter-field interpolation and intra-field interpolation accordingly.
