Abstract: A method of automatic luminance-chrominance delay compensation is disclosed. The method generally includes the steps of (A) generating an intermediate signal by processing a video signal such as to enhance a plurality of edges in a picture within the video signal, the picture having a luminance component and a chrominance component temporally separated from each other by an actual delay, (B) identifying an estimated delay between the luminance component and the chrominance component by correlating the luminance component in the intermediate signal to the chrominance component in the intermediate signal at a plurality of relative delays and (C) compensating for the actual delay by delaying one of either (i) the luminance component and (ii) the chrominance component by the estimated delay.
