  • Motion judder cancellation in image sequences
    Patent number: 8441579
    Abstract: In a device for processing baseband signal images (BS), a film detector determines whether a same baseband signal image includes both information from a film image and information from a video source image, information from one film image being present in at least two baseband signal images while information from one video source image is present in only one baseband signal image. A processing unit processing the baseband signal images in such a manner that in the presence of both information from the film image and information from the video source image in the same baseband signal image, for each film image only one of the at least two baseband signal images is used to obtain a display signal image (DS).
    Type: Grant
