Abstract: A luminance (Y) and chrominance (C) signals separating filter includes a motion detecting circuit which partially detects a movement of an image utilizing a correlation between frames; an inter-frame YC separating circuit which performs a separation utilizing the inter-frame correlation when the motion detecting circuit detects a still image, and outputs intra-frame YC separated C signals and intra-frame YC separated Y signals; an intra-frame YC separating circuit which partially detects a correlation between fields or between frames and a correlation in a field when the motion detecting circuit detects a moving image, performs a separation utilizing the correlations, and outputs intra-frame YC separated C signals and intra-frame YC separated Y signals; a C signal mixing circuit which mixes the inter-frame YC separated C signals and the intra-frame YC separated C signals in accordance with an output of the motion detecting circuit and outputs motion adaptive YC separated C signals; and a Y signal mixing circu

Abstract: A filter is used for separating luminance and color signals from a composite color television signal in which the frequency of the color signal is multiplexed over the high-frequency region of the luminance signal. When a picture is detected with respect to its motion under frame correlation and if that motion is relatively small, the separation of luminance and color signals is performed based on the interframe correlation. If the motion is relatively large, the separation of luminance and color signals is made based on the interfield correlation. The luminance and color signal separation based on the interfield correlation is attained from a correlation with signals in a field spaced forwardly away from the subject field by one field. This is accomplished by selecting a calculation having the highest correlation in calculations for an objective sample point and a plurality of sample points located about the objective sample point.

If the motion is relatively large, the separation of luminance and color signals is made based on interfield correlation. The luminance and color signal separation based on the interfield correlation is attained from a correlation with signals in fields spaced forwardly and rearwardly away from the subject field by one field. This is accomplished by selecting a calculation having the highest among a plurality of calculations for an objective sample point and a plurality of sample points located about the objective sample point.
