  • Publication number: 20040218787
    Abstract: In an area where the images change gradually, accurate detection of a still image area and a motion image one has been difficult. A motion detector comprises a small amplitude area detecting means (9) for measuring the amplitudes in an area including and adjoining predetermined pixel of the image, a motion information extracting means (10) for measuring the temporal variation of the image, a comparing means (2) for judging from the measured variation at least whether the predetermined pixel is a motion pixel or not, a motion image pixel counting means (3) and a motion signal generating means (11) for generating a motion signal related to the predetermined pixel according to the result of the judgment The smaller are the measured amplitude, the more are corrected the gain of the variation at least related to the predetermined pixel, thus measuring temporal variation of the image.

  • Patent number: 6380979
    Abstract: There is provided a low-cost scanning line converting circuit being capable of properly converting the number of scanning lines for a video signal at various conversion ratios. Under the control of a write control signal generating circuit, an original video signal is written, on a scanning-line basis, in individual line memories. A write operation is performed to each of the line memories based on a clock and a horizontal synchronizing signal on the input side, while a read operation is performed to each of the line memories based on a clock and a horizontal synchronizing signal on the output side. A selecting circuit selects, based on a line select signal, at least one from scanning line signals stored in the individual line memories necessary to generate a post-conversion scanning line signal and outputting the selected scanning line signal.

  • Patent number: 6259480
    Abstract: The invention includes an interpolation circuit for generating interpolation scanning lines by averaging adjacent scanning lines from an interlaced input video signal. Also included is a motion detecting circuit for detecting the amount of motion of the input video signal. The output signal of the interpolation circuit is connected to an amplitude control circuit controlled by the amount of motion from the motion detecting circuit. The input video signal terminal and the output terminal of the amplitude control circuit are connected to a converter circuit which performs time division multiplexing of the interlaced input video scanning lines and interpolation scanning lines by using a clock 2fH from a control signal input terminal. The clock has a frequency which is two times the horizontal scanning frequency. The motion detecting circuit detects the amount of motion and if the amount of motion is small, amplitude control of the interpolation scanning lines is not-performed.
