Abstract: Disclosed is a noise reduction circuit in which a YC-separated luminance signal and a YC-separated chromaticity signal are separately processed for noise reduction. In the noise reduction circuit, delay elements incorporated in a YC separation circuit are also used as delay elements in a contour correction circuit so as to attain the desired purpose of noise reduction in both the luminance signal and the chromaticity signal and also the desired purpose of contour correction. Thus, both the noise reduction and the contour correction can be achieved by the noise reduction circuit which is simple in structure and inexpensive.

Abstract: A dot crawling interference elimination device and a color subcarrier vertical correlation detection device, which comprise a color subcarrier vertical correlation detection device for a video signal, an adaptive three-dimensional Y/C separation unit, and an adaptive notch filter of a color signal band, detect vertical correlation of a color subcarrier in a non-standard signal, such as a signal reproduced from a home VCRs or a special signal reproduced from an optical VDP system, that does not strictly meet the standards of the NTSC system or the PAL system, thereby to discriminate non-standard characteristics of the signal, and eliminate a color signal component, which mixes into a luminance signal when a motion-adaptive Y/C separation is carried out for the non-standard signal, by using an adaptive notch filter that suits a non-standard state of the input image signal.

Abstract: A double-scanning non-interlaced television receiver performs scanning line interpolation by using a memory to reproduce a 1/60 second frame with 525 scanning lines. The receiver has a picture-in-picture (P-in-P) function which inserts a frame (sub-picture) into a part of another frame (main picture). The receiver is provided with a signal processing circuit for implementing the scanning line interpolation and a memory having a frame-wide capacity for producing a sub-picture. The receiver (1) produces a video signal for the main scanning line and a video signal for the interpolated scanning line for the main picture and a video signal for the main scanning line and a video signal for the interpellated scanning line for the sub-picture and (2) performs a double-scanning conversion, thereby providing a sub-picture without causing line flicker.

Abstract: A device detects a correlation between frames represented by a video signal of an interlaced scanning format. A sudden motion of an object represented by the video signal is detected on the basis of the detected correlation. A normal motion of the object represented by the video signal is detected on the basis of the detected correlation. Scanning lines represented by the video signl are interpolated with changeable interpolation characteristics. The interpolation characteristics are changed in response to the detected normal motion of the object. The interpolation characteristics are changed in response to the detected sudden motion of the object.

Abstract: In a two-picture television receiver, a field polarity detection circuit detects field polarity of an image signal of a main picture. A first and a second field memories are capable of writing-in an image signal to constitute a sub-picture for respective fields, and read-out circuit alternately reads-out from the first and the second field memories in response to a polarity detection signal of the field polarity detection circuit.

This writing is based on the polarity detection signal of the field polarity detection circuit, a vertical synchronization signal in image signal of sub-picture, and a binary signal which changes alternately for respective one field based on the vertical synchronization signal.
