Video matching apparatus and video matching method

摘要

A singular point removing unit (12) removes a singular point as invisible high-frequency component noise from a degraded video signal and a reference video signal. A pixel value correcting unit (13) removes pixel-value bias added to the degraded video signal. The singular point removing unit (12) transforms the video signal into a spatial frequency, removes a high-frequency component, and restores the video signal by inverse transformation, or removes a singular point by using an averaging filter or a median filter. The pixel value correcting unit (13) obtains the correlation between the pixel values of the reference video signal and the corresponding pixel values of the degraded video signal, and corrects the pixel values of the reference video signal or the degraded video signal so as to match the pixel values of the degraded video signal with the pixel values of the reference video signal.
