SCHALTUNG ZUR VERARBEITUNG EINES VIDEOSIGNALS MIT BEWEGUNGSADAPTATION.

摘要

A video signal processing circuit of motion adaptive type includes a circuit for identifying motion of a picture in a video signal on the basis of a difference signal between at least a line signal appearing in an M-th field and a corresponding line signal appearing in an (M-1)th field so that, when a scanning line produced on the basis of the video signal is interpolated between scanning lines of the video signal to improve the picture quality, a signal for interpolating said scanning line is produced in a different manner depending on whether a portion of the video signal to the displayed is a still picture or a moving picture. The motion identifying circuit comprises a horizontal filter (15, 16) spreading the difference signal in the horizontal direction a circuit (17, 18) delaying the output signal of the horizontal filter by one field after attenuation, a line memory (19) delaying the output signal of the attenuating and delaying circuit (17, 18) by one line, and an output circuit (20) generating a signal identifying the motion of the picture on the basis of the output signals of the horizontal filter (15), attenuating and delaying circuit (17, 18) and line memory (19).
