摘要:
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.

An interframe coding system provided for highly efficient transmission of coded television picture signal is improved by compensating prediction error of predicted picture motion in response to interframe correlation detected by shifting moving blocks in a direction opposite to a motion vector detected for predicting interframe picture motion in order to reduce an amount of coded signals to be transmitted, and further improved regarding the detection of motion vector by examining interframe correlation referred to accumulated logarithms of absolute values of interframe differential picture element signals, and still further improved regarding the compensation of predicted picture motion by changing a coding threshold level in response to picture motion and further by effecting more exact secondary prediction of picture motion. According to these improvements, an extremely high efficiency of transmission of precisely and correctly coded interframe picture signal can be attained.
摘要:
A digital audio signal demodulation circuit comprises a synchronous detection circuit (18) and a muting circuit (17) for muting the output from an interpolation circuit (16) using a synchronization lock signal generated from the synchronous detection circuit (18) when synchronization has been lost. The differential signal output from the interpolation circuit (16) is muted by the muting circuit (17) and thereafter integrated by an integration circuit (19). Thus, an audio signal with high sound quality can be demodulated without producing interruption noise even when synchronization has been lost or forcible muting is done.

The motion detection circuit is so constructed that an interframe difference signal is passed through a horizontal direction LPF and a vertical direction LPF in cascade connection, and the interframe difference signal thus obtained is divided by the value obtained by mixing an edge signal of an image and the image level signal of the image by a mixing circuit, thus providing a motion signal.

When the receiving system for a band-compression image signal receives a dropout signal representing a dropout portion of an image signal, an output of the third delay circuit of the temporal filter for motion detection processing, that is, motion information of an image signal, which precedes by one field, and a dropout signal activate the signal selection control circuit to produce an output signal for controlling the operation of the signal selection circuit, so that an output signal of the first delay circuit is selected for a static portion of an image, and an output signal of the dropout compensation circuit is selected for a moving portion of an image, so as to effect compensation control of the dropout portion of an image signal, thereby preventing deterioration of the quality of an image.

A demodulator for regenerating and demodulating a carrier signal from a four-phase PSK received signal having a data symbol preamble and a fixed phase (one of four phases) of a particular time width using a synchronous detection type demodulating system (remodulation type demodulating system). The demodulator includes an orthogonal demodulating circuit and a remodulating circuit for regenerating a carrier signal which is the data signal during a preamble transmission period from a received modulated signal. The remodulating circuit includes a demodulator having an AFC circuit for detecting a frequency change using a narrow band filter, means for suppressing frequency changes of the four-phase PSK modulated signal received and means for rendering constant the frequency of the regenerated carrier signal passing through the narrow band filter.
摘要:
A high definition color television picture signal is unified by time-axis compressed integration (TCI) and the bandwidth thereof is extremely narrowed by dot-interlace subsampling. As a result, a narrow band transmission picture signal accompanied with a control signal adapted to the restoration of the received original picture signal, which is suitable for satellite broadcast, can be obtained through a comparatively simple arrangement. The received narrow band transmission picture signal can be restored by the interpolation adapted respectively to the stationary picture and the motion picture under control of the control signal or the picture-motional information detected from the received picture signal in combination with the control signal, so that the original high definition can be sufficiently maintained through comparatively simple receiving equipment.
