Abstract: Levels of an input video signal are detected at successive pixels. An absolute level difference is produced that is an absolute value of the difference at each pixel pair. One absolute difference is applied nonlinear processing to be subtracted from an initial value to obtain a subtracted value. An absolute value of the subtracted value is set to a predetermined value if not larger than this value. The absolute difference is obtained from a pixel pair located in the middle of the pixels. The absolute value subjected to the nonlinear processing is added to the remaining absolute differences, to obtain an evaluation value. The input signal is subjected to low-pass filtering, thus video signals being output with high-frequency components attenuated depending on filter characteristics. The input signal with no filtering applied or one of the signals applied the filtering is selected for edge enhancement depending on the evaluation value.

Abstract: An input video signal is processed for edge enhancement. Video signal levels are detected at an N number of pixels located adjacent to one another in a specific scanning direction (N being an even number of four or larger). A difference between the levels is obtained and an absolute difference is produced that is an absolute value of the difference at each pair of adjacent two pixels among the N number of pixels, thus an (N?1) number of absolute differences being obtained. A particular one absolute difference among the absolute differences is applied nonlinear arithmetic processing in which it is subtracted from a predetermined initial value to obtain a subtracted value, and an absolute value of the subtracted value is obtained, the absolute value being set to a predetermined value if equal to or lower than the predetermined value. The particular one absolute difference is obtained from a pixel pair of two adjacent pixels located in the middle of the N number of pixels aligned in the scanning direction.
