Abstract: We describe and claim a fuzzy logic based adaptive Y/C separation system and method. The fuzzy logic based adaptive Y/C separation system includes an adaptive Y/C separator to use fuzzy logic to separate chrominance data in a video signal, and a panel to display the chrominance data. The adaptive Y/C separator includes a plurality of filters, each to separate chrominance data in a video signal, and a blending circuit to use fuzzy logic to blend the chrominance data.

Abstract: We describe and claim an edge enhancement system and method. The edge enhancement system includes an edge enhancement circuit to enhance a portion of image data with enhancement data determined from the image data, and a panel to display the enhanced image data. The edge enhancement circuit includes a receiver to receive the image data, a determining circuit to determine enhancement data from the image data, and an enhancing circuit to enhance a portion of the image data with the enhancement data. In an embodiment, the enhancing circuit mathematically manipulates a portion of the image data with the enhancement data. In another embodiment, the enhancing circuit replaces a portion of the image data with the enhancement data.

Abstract: I describe and claim a temporal comb filtering system and method. The temporal comb filter system includes a comb filter to temporally process separated luminance and chrominance components from an image field responsive to image data from at least one other image field and a panel to display the processed components. The comb filter includes a cross-chroma detector to detect luminance information within chrominance data from a first image field responsive to chrominance data from at least one other image field and a cross-luma detector to detect chrominance information within the luminance data from the first image field responsive to the luminance data from at least one other image field.

Abstract: We describe and claim an adaptive color burst phase correction system and method. The adaptive color burst phase correction system includes a signal detector to extract a color burst from a video signal, the color burst including a phase and an amplitude, an adaptive phase corrector to adjust the color burst phase responsive to corruption in the color burst, a Y/C separator to separate luminance and chrominance data from the video signal, responsive to the adjusted color burst phase, and a panel to display the luminance and chrominance data. The adaptive phase corrector includes a corruption detector to detect corruption in a color burst, a selector to select a phase correction value responsive to the detected corruption, and a phase adjuster to adjust a color burst phase responsive to the phase correction value.
