Progressive scan processor employing interpolation in luminance channel controlled by a motion signal and a vertical detail representative signal

摘要

A frame comb filter separates a luminance signal from a composite video input signal for display on every other line of a progressively scanned display. The filter includes a tap for providing a field delayed luma signal and an interpolator for providing a frame comb filtered and interpolated luma signal. A selector switch selects the field delayed luma signal for display on the intermediate lines of the display when the vertical detail content of the input signal is greater than a minimum threshold value and there is little or no interframe motion and selects the frame comb filtered and interpolated luminance signal for display otherwise thereby providing enhanced vertical detail and reduced field motion artifacts for displayed images.
