An apparatus for detecting a telecine signal

摘要

An apparatus and method for detecting a film mode with respect to an input image signal. The apparatus includes a main detection unit for calculating summed absolute differences (SADs) between 1 period-spaced-fields with respect to an input image signal and detecting a film mode based on the SADs, a sub-detection unit for calculating an absolute change amount between the SADs and detecting the film mode based on the absolute change amounts, a still image judgment unit judging whether the input image signal is a still image based on the SADs and the absolute change amounts, and a film mode decision unit for deciding whether the input image signal is in the film mode by combining results of detecting the film mode by the main detection unit and by the sub-detection unit and a result of judging whether the image signal is the still image by the still image judgment unit.
