The application is to be that June 9, application number in 2005 are that 200580001091.X, name are called the dividing an application of application for a patent for invention of " display device and method " applying date.
Technical field
This present invention relates to a kind of display device and method, particularly a kind of display device and method that is suitable for showing moving image.Particularly, the present invention relates to a kind of image processing equipment, image processing method and display device.
Background technology
Existence is by improving the signal processing technology that is used for image display device and the needs that Driving technique improves image quality.
Generally speaking, can improve by also level and smooth its texture of the resolution that increases image the picture quality of image.The pixel of point (point) take the expression composing images is expressed the amount of information of image as unit.The pixel count of image is expressed with the number of the horizontal and vertical point of image, and for example 800 * 600 or 1024 * 768.More particularly, pixel (point) number is more, and image texture is just larger with regard to the amount of information of more level and smooth and composing images.
In order to show image with high-resolution, (for example there is a kind of technology, refer to Patent Document 1), it is by for example using two displays 1 and 2 in order to make display 1 show image in normal monotype, and in multi-mode, make each display 1 and 2 show respectively left side and the right-hand part of image, thus in multi-mode with only compare the high resolution of twice with the system of a display and show image.
[patent documentation 1] Japan patent applicant announce number flat-10-124024
If show image with the resolution that increases, then the amount of information of composing images increases, thereby the data volume that will be transferred to display 1 or 2 increases, and needs to improve message transmission rate.Therefore, this System Construction is become the data volume of each point by reducing display 1 and 2 and the conversion by signal data that processing execution reduces, carries out image data transfer and do not improve message transmission rate.
In addition, especially, can improve by improving frame rate the picture quality of moving image, wherein frame rate is the number of times that per second upgrades screen.
For example, when when using projecting apparatus with the moving image projection and being presented on the screen, projecting apparatus is display frame image line by line by executive level scanning on basis line by line, and after all row that scanned a picture frame, begin to scan the view data of subsequent frame, thereby show moving image.
Summary of the invention
[problem to be solved by this invention]
As mentioned above, especially, can improve by improving frame rate the picture quality of moving image.Yet, in order to carry out Graphics Processing according to high frame rate, need to improve the processing speed of the drive circuit that is used for the driving display unit, in addition, need to improve the reaction speed of the light quantity modulation element of determining image intensity.The method is difficult technically, and causes cost to improve.
Although it is known can improving by improving frame rate the picture quality of moving image, in fact can not the relation of research between the picture quality of frame rate and moving image in the situation that improves frame rate.Therefore, not clear, whether might improve frame rate by unlimited degree ground and come unlimited degree ground to improve the picture quality of moving image.
Certainly, can not understand quantitatively in the relation between frame rate and the moving image in the situation that improves frame rate.
Therefore, the inventor notices the frame rate of digital cinema format of future generation, and has studied its necessary restriction according to visual characteristic.
Think that before this oculomotor speed of tracking that is known as level and smooth tracking is consistent with the movement velocity of sensation target.Westheimer states that eyes are with the speed motion (Westheimer, G., A.M.A.Arch.Ophthal.52, pp.932-941,1954) identical with the sensation target speed that is not higher than 30 degree/second.
Yet studies have shown that of back followed the trail of oculomotor speed almost all cases less than the speed of sensation target.The people such as Meyer have stated that the tracking speed of eyes approximately is 0.87 times about sensation target speed.(Meyer, the people such as C.H., Vision Res.Vol.25, No.4, pp.561-563,1985).
Although Meyer reports, has obtained maximum tracking speed restriction 100 degree/second, Meyer has stated that such tracking speed is the result who obtains from skilled tested object, and general tested object can not carry out such tracking.The condition of this experiment is 80 centimetres visible sensation distance, and this is different from the visual environment of cinema greatly.Sensation target is the hot spot that moves by galvanometer, and Meyer does not discuss the spatial frequency of sensation target.
In Japan, the NHK report example (people such as Yasushi Tadokoro of frame rate exist to be discussed, NHKTechnical Report, September (1968), pp422-426,1968), but screen height), high-high brightness 30fl (102.78cd/m the condition of this report is visible sensation distance 7H (H: 2) 14 inches monitors, and still do not consider the condition of cinema.In addition, this report is concluded, owing to larger motion do not occur in general content, so 60Hz or higher field frequency are unnecessary.Miyahara is 14 inches monitors, visible sensation distance 4H and high-high brightness 400cd/m to the experiment condition about the dynamic vision sensitivity of oscillating vision target 2About the experiment of visual characteristic mainly is to implement under the visual environment condition such as relatively short distance and relative high brightness.
Therefore, in inventor's visual environment at the cinema, that is, and high-high brightness 40cd/m 2With visible sensation distance 5 to 15m, the dynamic space frequency characteristic of eyes has been carried out pilot study.Important to moving image quality research of depending on such dynamic space frequency characteristic, because such research causes greatly considering the conventional form for frame rate.
In this research process, in fact the inventor has studied the relation between the frame rate and moving image quality in higher frame rate, and has confirmed human visual characteristic.
The present invention proposes in view of said circumstances, and is intended to so that might in the situation that needn't improve frame rate less deteriorated moving image be presented to the observer based on human visual system, and it is the people who watches shown moving image.

In the timing based on the control of display control section 27, among projecting apparatus 51-1 and the projecting apparatus 51-2 each is by arriving pixel (X from pixel (X, Y)=(0,0), Y)=(p, q) scan in the horizontal direction screen 52, show the two field picture corresponding with the vision signal that provides, wherein from pixel (X, Y)=(0,0) scope to pixel (X, Y)=(p, q) forms the image that will be shown.Frame rate by the two field picture of each demonstration among projecting apparatus 51-1 and the projecting apparatus 51-2 is m/2.As top the same with the situation of outputting video signal S3 with reference to figure 2 described outputting video signal S2, by scanning time started of each frame of a demonstration among projecting apparatus 51-1 and the 51-2 with respect to a display frame skew 1/2 that is provided by another, and the phase difference between its scanning is 1/m.
For example, when row corresponding with the α+1 frame on the row that is represented by scanning B on the projecting apparatus 51-2 scanning screen 52, projecting apparatus 51-1 scans on the screen 52 row corresponding with the α+2 frames on the row that is represented by scan A.1/2 row with respect to the line number of a frame of line displacement that is represented by scan A by the row that represents of scanning B.More particularly, with the time interval of 1/m, alternately rewrite the moving image that is presented on the screen 52 by scan A and scanning B.
For example, if the frame rate of the demonstration image of each output from projecting apparatus 51-1 and projecting apparatus 51-2 is 150Hz, the frame rate that then is presented at the moving image on the screen becomes in fact 300Hz.
In addition, for prevent by scan A and scanning among the B corresponding one deviation occurs between the scan line that same position forms, might be by using and becoming the image optical position of dual-stack (twin stack) technology to proofread and correct similar technology, the scanning position of correction pixels for traditional what is called.Become the dual-stack technology be a kind of can by with two projecting apparatus at same time and show the technology of bright image in same position demonstration identical image.When by when becoming the dual-stack technology to show image, the brightness of shown image becomes the twice height, thereby even in the situation of bright light environments or long projector distance, also can realize clearly projection.
Become the use of dual-stack technology to cause such problem, namely owing to the deviation between the location of pixels of two projected images occur image blurring, but the so-called picture offset functions of location of pixels that can finely tune the optical projection image is widely with solving such problem.According to the picture offset functions, can make from the picture position of two projecting apparatus projections accurately consistent with each other.
The technology of the deviation between the location of pixels of two projected images of a kind of correction for example, is disclosed in the flat 10-058291 of Japanese patent application No..
By adjusting image display device 12, be not more than a pixel (point or a pixel) in order to become by the deviation between scan A and the scan line that forms of scanning B, image display device 12 becomes and can show moving image, and can be owing to the image of mutual skew one frame overlapping causes image blurring.
As mentioned above, at projecting apparatus 51-1 and the projecting apparatus 51-2 two field picture of on basis frame by frame, alternately painting, make simultaneously in the situation of each two field picture with respect to subsequent frame image shift 1/2 frame, by one in the projecting apparatus begin for the drawing frame image scanning early than finished by another projecting apparatus scanning and the drawing at previous frame.At this moment, when the object C on the screen 52 that is presented at Fig. 3 was shown as for example from left to right moving on display screen, the user of the level and smooth observed moving image of the motion of marginal portion β was felt as the level and smooth of shown image.
The demonstration of the marginal portion β of object C on the screen 52 is described below with reference to Fig. 4.
Show the object C of α frame by projecting apparatus 51-1, and after the cycle of second, shown the object C of α+1 frame at 1/m by projecting apparatus 51-2.After cycle, rewrite the position of the marginal portion β of object C at this moment at the 1/m that shows from the α frame.Then, after the cycle, shown the object C of α+2 frames at 1/m by projecting apparatus 51-1.After cycle, rewrite the marginal portion β of object C at the 1/m that shows from α+1 frame.
For example, when the frame rate of the demonstration image of each output from projecting apparatus 51-1 and projecting apparatus 51-2 is 150Hz, with the interval of 1/150 (second), rewrite the frame of the moving image that is shown by each the independent projecting apparatus among projecting apparatus 51-1 and the projecting apparatus 51-2.Yet, refreshing the marginal portion β of object C with the interval of 1/300 (second), it is by by means of projecting apparatus 51-1 and projecting apparatus 51-2 display frame image alternately on basis frame by frame, and is displayed on the screen 52.Therefore, the motion of the marginal portion β of the object C that is observed by the user becomes very level and smooth.

Even in image display system shown in Figure 6 71, the situation of image display system as shown in Figure 1 is the same, by above-mentioned processing, the moving image that will be shown is separated into the odd and even number frame, and the odd and even number frame is offered respectively two display unit, that is, scan control part 41-1 and scan control part 41-2.Then, each display unit with the frame rate of the moving image that will be shown half frame rate, with the shifted scanning two field picture of 1/2 frame, in order to can high frame rate show moving image with the basically twice of display unit ability.
In the above in the description to the embodiment of the invention, with reference to such situation, two row picture signals wherein the picture signal that provides are provided into, and by two scan control part pictorial image, but the separation number of picture signal can be any number of two that is not less than.
If the separation number of picture signal for example is three, then will sequentially offer three D/A conversion portions from the picture signal of frame memory output, perhaps will partly be separated into three frame by data separating and sequentially offer respectively three frame memories and be stored in wherein.Like this, as shown in Figure 8, incoming video signal S1 is separated into three outputting video signal S2, S3 and S4, and these three outputting video signal S2, S3 and S4 are offered respectively three scan control parts.
The first scan control partly control α frame, α+3 frames, α+6 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S2.The second scan control partly control α+1 frame, α+4 frames, α+7 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S3.The 3rd scan control partly control α+2 frames, α+5 frames, α+8 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S4.The frame rate of the frame of the outputting video signal that is partly shown by the first scan control part, the second scan control part and the 3rd scan control respectively be incoming video signal frame rate 1/3, and the scanning time started of the frame that is partly scanned by the first scan control part, the second scan control part and the 3rd scan control respectively mutually skew show 1/3 of scan period that a frame of each in the S4 of outputting video signal S2 is required.
If incoming video signal S1 for example is 180Hz, then incoming video signal S1 is separated into three outputting video signal S2, S3 and S4, and these three outputting video signal S2, S3 and S4 are offered respectively three scan control parts, and by each scan control part with the frame rate of 60Hz as outputting video signal scanning and show it.If incoming video signal S1 for example is 150Hz, then incoming video signal S1 is separated into three outputting video signal S2, S3 and S4, and these three outputting video signal S2, S3 and S4 are offered respectively three scan control parts, and by each scan control part with the frame rate of 50Hz as outputting video signal scanning and show it.By this way, can adopt the scan control part that is widely used type at present most, its can with 50Hz (PAL: phase-aoternation line system) or 60Hz (NTSC: national television system committee or HD (high definition) vision signal), in order to show moving image with much higher frame rate.
Although the NTSC frame rate more correctly was 59.94 frame/seconds, according to those skilled in the art's convention, NTSC frame rate mentioned herein was defined as for 60 frame/seconds.Similarly, 59.94 multiple is called 60 multiple.More particularly, be called respectively 60,120,180,240,300,360,420 and 480 at this with 59.94,119.88,179.82,239.76,299.70,359.64,418.58 and 479.52.
Therefore, if the separation number of incoming video signal for example is n, then provide n scan control part, and be the 1/n of the frame rate of incoming video signal by the frame rate of the frame of first outputting video signal that partly shows to n scan control respectively.Mutually be offset respectively the 1/n of display cycle of a frame of outputting video signal separately by drawing time started of first frame that partly scans to n scan control, thereby show individually that with in the scan control part each situation of moving image compares, can with n basically doubly high frame rate show moving image.
In addition, the number of scan control part can be arranged to s, and the separation number of vision signal can be arranged to the n less than s, so that by using s n scan control section in the middle of the scan control part to assign to show moving image.
In the description of carrying out in conjunction with Fig. 1 and Fig. 6 in the above, with reference to image display system, wherein each is made of image signal conversion device and image display device, still, certainly, in the element each can be embodied as single assembly.
Supposition based on controller 24 control frame memories 23 and display control section 27 control image display devices 12, image signal conversion device shown in Figure 1 11 has been described, based on the supposition of controller 94 control frame memory 93-1 and frame memory 93-2 and display control section 27 control image display devices 12, image signal conversion device shown in Figure 6 81 has been described simultaneously.Yet, can be used for by identical controller control the frame memory of stored video signal and the image display device that is used for showing image.Display control section 27 can be provided in image display device 12 not in image signal conversion device 11 or 81.
Moving image is with the peculiar deterioration in image quality that does not appear in the rest image.In being widely used most at present display type, 50Hz (PAL) and 60Hz (NTSC and HD vision signal), reproduction on time orientation is defective, and under given conditions, this defective on the time orientation is converted into the defective on the direction in space.Therefore, for example owing to be used for obtaining the shutter cycle of motion image data, the emission cycle of the display unit during showing moving image and individual's sighting condition, move the deterioration in image quality of image.
Fig. 9 shows the example of the actual scene that stationary objects and Moving Objects coexist together.This scene assumed vehicle moves right, and tree fixes on the ground.Figure 10 and 11 shows the observer's who observes scene shown in Figure 9 identification.
Figure 10 is the view that the observer's who watches (gaze) tree attentively video image identification is shown.In this case, the automobile that moves right is dim visible for the observer.Figure 11 is the view that the observer's who watches automobile attentively video image identification is shown.In this case, static tree is dim visible for the observer.
In the following description, the situation that the observer is fixed on his/her sight line on the fixed object of viewing plane coordinate is known as the condition of staring, and the observer makes the situation of the Moving Objects of eye tracking viewing plane coordinate be known as tracking condition.More particularly, in conjunction with the described situation of Figure 10 corresponding to the condition of staring, and in conjunction with the described situation of Figure 11 corresponding to tracking condition.Under the condition of staring and tracking condition, by the observer watch attentively to as if clearly visible, and about the relative position of being watched attentively object change dim visible to liking.
Such reason is that human vision property has comprehensively (integrate) incides the light on the retina in specific period function.The object that moves at the retina coordinate of eyes has shown that position comprehensive on time orientation changes, and is the image that blurs thereby feel Moving Objects.The movement velocity of being somebody's turn to do on fuzzy and the retina coordinate is proportional.Movement velocity on the retina coordinate do not correspond to object actual speed and corresponding to its angular speed (degree/second).
As mentioned above, on the retina coordinate static to as if clearly visible, and the retina coordinate move to as if dim visible.In order to show the moving image with verisimilitude, that is, look like the high quality motion picture of smooth motion, the video image consistent with so actual identification is important.
Describe top with reference to the described observer's identification of Figure 10 and top with reference to the difference between the described observation identification of Figure 11 below with reference to Figure 12.The top of Figure 12 shows the actual motion in the external world.The longitudinal axis represents time shaft, and transverse axis represents horizontal direction, and the top of Figure 12 shows at fixing point (corresponding to the tree among Fig. 9 to 11, and in Figure 12, represent with x) and the point of uniform motion (corresponding to the automobile among Fig. 9 to 11, and in Figure 12, represent with y) be present in the scene in the external world, point is in the position of each time.The bottom of Figure 12 shows the identification of the motion in observer's external world during staring and following the tracks of.Arrow shown in broken lines represents the motion of observer's viewpoint, that is, and and the direction of comprehensive video image on retina.Comprehensive direction during the arrow that extends in vertical direction is illustrated in and stares, and the arrow that in an inclined direction extends is illustrated in comprehensive direction during the tracking.More particularly, when the observer followed the tracks of, fixing point (tree) was dim visible, but motor point (automobile) is clearly visible.On the other hand, when the observer stared, fixing point (tree) was clearly visible, but motor point (automobile) is dim visible.
The below will be according to image capture conditions, display condition and observation condition, is described with reference to Figure 13 when the motion of catching by the still image catching method as moving-image reproducing, and the observer is to the identification of the motion in the external world shown in Figure 9.The top of Figure 13 shows the time variation that moving image shows.The bottom of Figure 13 as observer's identification show stare and follow the tracks of during the sight line direction of motion be the result who obtains by the light that comprehensively shows as moving image on the direction of comprehensive axle.
Figure 13 A shows the identification of observer in by the situation of the image opening that shutter (open shutter) technology is caught and shown by the impulse type display.Figure 13 B shows the identification of observer in by the situation of the image opening that fast gate technique is caught and shown by maintenance (hold-type) display.Figure 13 C shows the identification of observer in the situation of the image of catching by the high-speed shutter technology and being shown by the impulse type display.Figure 13 D shows the identification of observer in the situation of the image of catching by the high-speed shutter technology and being shown by the maintenance display.
Maintenance refers at the display type that keeps the demonstration of each pixel on the screen during each frame period as used herein, and the maintenance display for example is LCD.Use the display unit of LED or use the display unit of EL (electroluminescence) can be used as the maintenance display.
The impulse type display for example is CRT or FED.
In addition, display not only is classified into maintenance (maintenance) and impulse type, but also (for example be classified into the pixel type display, use the display of LCD or LED and the display of use EL) and so-called matrix driving display, wherein in the pixel type display, element is arranged in respectively in each pixel, and so-called matrix driving display is by being applied to separately the drivings such as the voltage that is arranged in the upright position on the screen take predetermined length as unit and is arranged in the horizontal level on the screen take predetermined length as unit, electric current.
Can find out that from Figure 13 A to 13D moving image quality is deteriorated different under different conditions.For example, compare with the Moving Objects identification of observing by tracking in Figure 13 or 13C, the Moving Objects of observing by tracking in Figure 13 B and 13D is dim visible.This phenomenon is known as " motion blur ", and it is that the display that operates under the maintenance launching condition is peculiar." motion blur " is occur in the object that the observer is watching attentively fuzzy, and be the observer feel easily deteriorated.
In addition, occur such as so deteriorated, namely in Fig. 3 D owing to stare the stroboscopic artifact (shake) that causes and the stroboscopic artifact that in Figure 13 A and 13C, causes owing to tracking.The stroboscopic artifact refers to that such moving image is deteriorated, it makes the observer see simultaneously a plurality of copies of Moving Objects (such as automobile), perhaps as shown in figure 14, when the observer stare on the display fixed object (for example, tree) time, as if it is the same to see that Moving Objects is carrying out rough discrete motion.Therefore, under many circumstances, the stroboscopic artifact that occurs in by the Moving Objects stared and tracked fixed object is occur in the part different from the object of just being watched attentively deteriorated, and compares with " motion blur " and not to be very remarkable.Yet, when sight line is not when following the tracks of fully, is watched attentively relation between object and the sight line and become and be same as Moving Objects during staring and the relation between the sight line, the fixed object during perhaps following the tracks of and the relation between the sight line.In this case, the stroboscopic artifact appears in the object of just being watched attentively, thereby the deteriorated of highly significant occurs.For example in sports relay and the action movie, this phenomenon is significant in fast the video source that can not easily predict next motion of motion.During the moving image of catching film etc., adopt various technology, in order to prevent that such moving image quality is deteriorated: for example Moving Objects is when being followed the tracks of by video camera, caught by video camera, and on display screen, show the Moving Objects of being caught with the state of fixed object, perhaps introduce be known as motion blur blur to suppress the stroboscopic artifact.Yet the restriction that applies by these technology has caused representing the restriction of mode.In addition, these modes can not be used for sports etc., because the motion of interested object is uncertain.
According to the angular speed of Moving Objects, the deteriorated increase of above-mentioned moving image quality.Therefore, if the moving image of same video scene is presented on the display that has with great visual angle, then the quality of moving image is deteriorated more significantly.In addition, it is deteriorated that the attempt that increases resolution improves above-mentioned moving image quality hardly.On the contrary, resolution is higher to cause the improvement of rest image quality larger, becomes more remarkable thereby moving image quality is deteriorated.Along with developing more screen sizes and more high-resolution display, can expect above-mentioned moving image quality will become larger problem in the future.
The deteriorated reason of moving image quality is the shortage of time reproducibility.Therefore, basic solution is improvement time reproducibility.More particularly, useful solution is to improve the frame rate that is used for image capture and shows both.
With the relation between Describing Motion deterioration in image quality and the display type in more detail.
For example, from relatively can find out between Figure 13 A and the 13B, the length of the Moving Objects image of visually identifying by tracking in Figure 13 B is longer than the length of the Moving Objects image of visually identifying by following the tracks of in Figure 13 A, thereby with the situation of impulse type display relatively, be presented at the motion blur that the observer of the Moving Objects on the maintenance display feels by tracking and become large.On the other hand, from such fact, namely in Figure 13 A, visually fixed object is identified as the image of separation by tracking, and in Figure 13 B, visually fixed object is identified as image continuous on direction in space by tracking, can find out, compare with the situation of impulse type display, the fixed object that is presented on the maintenance display is that nature is visible during following the tracks of.
Similarly, from relatively can find out between Figure 13 C and the 13D, the length of the Moving Objects image of visually identifying by tracking in Figure 13 D is longer than the length of the Moving Objects image of visually identifying by following the tracks of in Figure 13 C, thereby with the situation of impulse type display relatively, be presented at the motion blur that the observer of the Moving Objects on the maintenance display feels by tracking and become large.On the other hand, from such fact, namely in Figure 13 C, visually fixed object is identified as the image of separation by tracking, and in Figure 13 D, visually fixed object is identified as image continuous on direction in space by tracking, can find out, compare with the situation of impulse type display, the fixed object that is presented on the maintenance display is that nature is visible during following the tracks of.
During following the tracks of, the identification of the Moving Objects shown in Figure 13 A and fixed object is same as the identification of the Moving Objects shown in Figure 13 B and fixed object, and the identification of the Moving Objects shown in Figure 13 C and fixed object is same as the identification of the Moving Objects shown in Figure 13 D and fixed object, but the identification of the Moving Objects shown in Figure 13 A and the 13B and fixed object is different from the identification of the Moving Objects shown in Figure 13 C and the 13D and fixed object.Can find out that from this fact the identification of Moving Objects and fixed object during staring (mode that motion blur and stroboscopic artifact (shake) occur) is identical, and with type of display be that impulse type or maintenance are irrelevant.In addition, can find out, even observe the Moving Objects of catching its image by opening fast gate technique by staring, also imperceptible stroboscopic artifact (shake), if but observe the Moving Objects of catching its image by the high-speed shutter technology by staring, then feel stroboscopic artifact (shake).
The deteriorated improvement degree of moving image that Figure 15 is realized when showing above the frame rate high with twice caught and to show it with reference to the described motion image data of Figure 13 and with the high frame rate of twice.
Figure 15 A shows the observer to the identification of moving image, its with above doubling with reference to the frame rate in the described situation of Figure 13, by opening that fast gate technique is caught and being shown by the impulse type display.Figure 15 B shows the observer to the identification of moving image, its with above doubling with reference to the frame rate in the described situation of Figure 13, by opening that fast gate technique is caught and being shown by the maintenance display.Figure 15 C shows the observer to the identification of moving image, its with above doubling with reference to the frame rate in the described situation of Figure 13, catch and shown by the impulse type display by the high-speed shutter technology.Figure 15 D shows the observer to the identification of moving image, its with above doubling with reference to the frame rate in the described situation of Figure 13, catch and shown by the maintenance display by the high-speed shutter technology.
Shown in each in the 15D of Figure 15 A, each catch with display packing in, will be in the identification that shows image reduce to half owing to blur the fuzzy quantity that artifact cause.In addition, improved the image deterioration that causes owing to the stroboscopic artifact, large because the dispersed number of stroboscopic becomes twice.More particularly, bluring artifact and stroboscopic artifact improves linearly with respect to the raising of frame rate.In addition, along with improving frame rate, the difference that depends between the deteriorated quality of the moving image quality in shutter cycle and emission cycle reduces.More particularly, can think that the frame rate of raising is for the very useful mode that improves moving image quality.
According to the comparison of Figure 13 A and 15A and the comparison of Figure 13 B and 15B, the ratio of the length of the Moving Objects of visually feeling by tracking in Figure 15 B apparently, and the length of the Moving Objects visually felt by tracking in Figure 13 B is less than the ratio of length with the length of the Moving Objects of visually feeling by tracking in Figure 13 A of the Moving Objects of visually feeling by tracking in Figure 15 A.Similarly, according to the comparison of Figure 13 C and 15C and the comparison of Figure 13 D and 15D, the ratio of the length of the Moving Objects of visually feeling by tracking in Figure 15 D apparently, and the length of the Moving Objects visually felt by tracking in Figure 13 D is less than the ratio of length with the length of the Moving Objects of visually feeling by tracking in Figure 13 C of the Moving Objects of visually feeling by tracking in Figure 15 C.
More particularly, can think that if improve similarly the frame rate of pulse and maintenance display, the effect that then reduces motion blur in the maintenance display is higher than the impulse type display.More particularly, in the maintenance display, the effect that frame rate improves reduce the motion blur that occurs during following the tracks of is significant.
On the other hand, for stroboscopic artifact (shake), because the interval between the fixed object image that separate to show generally becomes shorter, so stroboscopic artifact (shake) generally becomes and more can not feel.
For by opening the demonstration of the moving image that shutter catches, by the visual psychology Physical Experiment, according to shake and motion blur, under tracking condition, its moving image quality is carried out evaluation and test.
Figure 16 shows the result according to the shake evaluation and test, and Figure 17 shows the result according to the motion blur evaluation and test.For this evaluation and test, various moving images have been prepared, proper motion image, CG motion and the video image of for example catching by opening the shutter video.Providing evaluation and test according to following deteriorated yardstick divides: evaluation and test value 5=" deteriorated is imperceptible ", evaluation and test value 4=" but deteriorated be realizable disagreeable ", evaluation and test value 3=" but deteriorated be realizable be not obstruction ", evaluation and test value 2=" deteriorated is what to hinder ", and evaluation and test value 1=" deteriorated is to hinder very much ".In addition, providing evaluation and test according to following evaluation and test yardstick divides: evaluation and test value 5=" very good ", evaluation and test value 4=" good ", evaluation and test value 3=" medium ", evaluation and test value 2=" poor ", and evaluation and test value 1=" non-constant ".In this experiment, the tested object of enough numbers has been carried out evaluation and test, in order to realize the research about the evaluation and test of general motion picture quality.In Figure 16 and 17, mean value and standard deviation about evaluation and test value all scenes, that provided by all tested objects have been drawn.
Compare with shake shown in Figure 16, the evaluation and test value of motion blur shown in Figure 17 changes greatly, and for shake and motion blur, jointly observes such trend, that is, along with frame rate uprises, the evaluation and test value of moving image quality uprises.Especially, the evaluation and test value of motion blur shows such polyline shaped trend, namely near arriving as the evaluation and test value 4.5 of sensation limit value near the 250fps, and the smooth value that is not less than evaluation and test value 4.5 is shown in much higher frame rate.The evaluation and test value of shake also shows such polyline shaped trend, namely near arriving as the evaluation and test value 4.5 of sensation limit value near the 250fps, and the general planar value that is not less than evaluation and test value 4.5 is shown in much higher frame rate.
Therefore, can be by improving satisfactorily during following the tracks of near the frame rate of 250fps, causing the especially significant deteriorated motion blur of moving image quality.More particularly, this fact has hinted it is desirable frequency near the 250fps, and it considers the validity of now widely used video resource.Specifically, as previously mentioned, a large amount of now widely used video resources have the frame rate of 50Hz or 60Hz, and this fact has hinted that 240Hz or 250Hz as the integral multiple of this frequency are the ideal frequency of considering the validity of video resource.
The below will describe this evaluation and test in more detail.In EBU (European Broadcasting Union) method, evaluation and test value 4.5 is sensation limit values, thereon, in any zone corresponding with the evaluation and test value that is higher than 4.5, indifference is imperceptible basically, and evaluation and test value 3.5 is to allow limit value, and is lower at it, in any zone corresponding with the evaluation and test value that is lower than 3.5, improving is imperceptible basically.
In the result of the evaluation and test that concentrates on motion blur, with evaluation and test value 3.5 allow that the corresponding frame rate of limit value is 105.Frame rate 105, the general user begins to feel the improvement of motion blur.More particularly, 105 or higher frame rate, the general user can feel the improvement of motion blur.
In the result of the evaluation and test that concentrates on motion blur, the frame rate corresponding with the sensation limit value of evaluation and test value 4.5 is 230.230 or higher frame rate, the general user feels that gratifying motion blur improves.In other words, 230 or higher frame rate, the general user can feel that the motion blur that reaches the peak improves.More particularly, 230 or higher frame rate, the general user can feel the improvement of motion blur satisfactorily.
In the result who concentrates on the evaluation and test of shaking, the evaluation and test value of frame rate 480 is 5.0, and this value is the very little value of its standard deviation.Therefore, in frame rate 480, the general user can not identify shake.More particularly, in frame rate 480, the image deterioration that causes owing to shake can be suppressed to the degree that the user can not identify.
Therefore, in frame rate 150,200,250,300,350,400,450 or 500, it is to be not less than 105 and equal the frame rate of the integral multiple of the frame rate 50 among the PAL, and it is deteriorated to improve moving image quality.Be not less than 150 and equal the frame rate of the integral multiple of the frame rate 50 among the PAL, the general user can feel the improvement of motion blur.Be not less than 250 and equal the frame rate of the integral multiple of the frame rate 50 among the PAL, the general user can feel the improvement of motion blur satisfactorily.
Similarly, in frame rate 120,180,240,300,360,420 or 480, it is to be not less than 105 and equal the frame rate of the integral multiple of the frame rate 60 among the NTSC, and it is deteriorated to improve moving image quality.Be not less than 120 and equal the frame rate of the integral multiple of the frame rate 60 among the NTSC, the general user can feel the improvement of motion blur.Be not less than 240 and equal the frame rate of the integral multiple of the frame rate 60 among the NTSC, the general user can feel the improvement of motion blur satisfactorily.
In the frame rate of the integral multiple of the frequency of the general broadcast form that equals NTSC for example or PAL, easily carries out image processing.In addition, it has been general using three panel type prisms (three-panel type prism) during capture video images.Therefore, can be easily to having the vision signal carries out image processing of frame rate 180, wherein, frame rate 180 is the frame rate that are not less than evaluation and test value 3.5, in the EBU method, on evaluation and test value 3.5, the general user can feel the improvement of motion blur, and the video image that has 60 frame rate by catching each is offset 1/180 second by means of three panel type prisms with video image simultaneously mutually, can easily obtain such vision signal.
In addition, have been found that from series of experiments when wanting the Display control computer graph image, 360 or 350 frame rate is particularly preferred.This is because computer graphic image for example generally comprises high fdrequency component at its edge.Therefore, can easily feel owing to the deterioration in image quality that causes of shake, and when 250 or 240 frame rate is changed over 360 or 350 frame rate, even the general user also can feel the improvement of picture quality.
The above with reference to figure 1 or shown in Figure 6, can be used for showing moving image with 240Hz or 250Hz that wherein 240Hz or 250Hz are the frequencies that equals 50Hz or 60Hz integral multiple according to image display system of the present invention.For example, as shown in figure 18, can adopt two or more projecting apparatus 51-1 to realize showing that with the moving image of 240Hz or 250Hz wherein 240Hz or 250Hz are the frequencies that equals the integral multiple of 50Hz or 60Hz to 51-n and image display system according to the present invention.
Each in the 51-n of projecting apparatus 51-1 is in the timing based on the control of display control section 27, form the pixel (X of the demonstration image that will be shown by in the horizontal direction scanning, Y)=(0,0) to pixel (X, Y)=(p, q), show the two field picture corresponding with the vision signal that provides at screen 52.When the frame rate of the moving image that is provided for image display system is m Hz, the frame rate that is presented at the two field picture on the screen 52 by each in the 51-n of projecting apparatus 51-1 is m/n Hz, but is m Hz by projecting apparatus 51-1 to the frame rate of the moving image of 51-n demonstration.Begun regularly with respect to by projecting apparatus 51-1 each display frame skew 1/n phase place that provides in the 51-n by the scanning of each frame of each demonstration of projecting apparatus 51-1 in the 51-n, i.e. 1/m second.
For example, when projecting apparatus 51-2 scans on the screen 52 correspondingly with the α+1 frame on the row that represents with scanning B when capable, projecting apparatus 51-3 scans on the screen 52 row corresponding with the α+2 frames on the row that represents with scan A.1/n with respect to the line number of a frame of line displacement that represents with scan A with the row that represents of scanning B.More particularly, with the time interval of 1/m, alternately rewrite the moving image that is presented on the screen 52 by a plurality of scannings that comprise scan A and scanning B.
If the frame rate of received image signal is 240Hz, and the separation number of picture signal for example is four, then will sequentially offer four D/A conversion portions from the picture signal of frame memory output, perhaps will partly be separated into four frame by data separating and sequentially offer respectively four frame memories and be stored in wherein.Like this, as shown in figure 19, incoming video signal S1 is separated into four outputting video signal S2, S3, S4 and S5, and these four outputting video signal S2, S3, S4 and S5 are offered respectively four scan control parts.
The first scan control partly control α frame, α+4 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S2.The second scan control partly control α+1 frame, α+5 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S3.The 3rd scan control partly control α+2 frames, α+6 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S4.The 4th scan control partly control α+3 frames, α+7 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S5.The frame rate of the frame of the outputting video signal that is partly shown by the first to the 4th scan control respectively be incoming video signal frame rate 1/4, and the scanning time started of the frame that is partly scanned by the first to the 4th scan control respectively mutually be offset 1/4 of the required scan period of a frame showing each in the S5 of outputting video signal S2.
If the frame rate of received image signal is 240Hz, and the separation number of picture signal for example is five, then will sequentially offer five D/A conversion portions from the picture signal of frame memory output, perhaps will partly be separated into five frame by data separating and sequentially offer respectively five frame memories and be stored in wherein.Like this, as shown in figure 20, incoming video signal S1 is separated into five outputting video signal S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6, and these five outputting video signal S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6 are offered respectively five scan control parts.
The first scan control partly control α frame, α+5 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S2.The second scan control partly control α+1 frame, α+6 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S3.The 3rd scan control partly control α+2 frames, α+7 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S4.The 4th scan control partly control α+3 frames, α+8 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S5.The 5th scan control partly control α+4 frames, α+9 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S6.The frame rate of the frame of the outputting video signal that is partly shown by the first to the 5th scan control respectively be incoming video signal frame rate 1/5, and the scanning time started of the frame that is partly scanned by the first to the 5th scan control respectively mutually be offset 1/5 of the required scan period of a frame showing each in the S6 of outputting video signal S2.
In the moving image with the most widely used present 50Hz or 60Hz showed, deteriorated such as moving image quality fuzzy or shake was significant.On the other hand, for example, when 4 or 5 as according to the separation number n of vision signal of the present invention the time, can by use widely used traditional type, with the display unit of the frame rate operation of 50Hz or 60Hz (for example, projecting apparatus), show the moving image with high frame rate.For example, when the separation number of incoming video signal is n=4, and the frame rate of the demonstration image of each output from projecting apparatus 51-1 to 51-4 is when being 60Hz, and the frame rate that is presented at the moving image on the screen 52 becomes basically 240Hz.In addition, for example, when the separation number of incoming video signal is n=5, and the frame rate of the demonstration image of each output from projecting apparatus 51-1 to 51-4 is when being 50Hz, and the frame rate that is presented at the moving image on the screen 52 becomes basically 250Hz.
As previously mentioned, a large amount of now widely used video resources have the frame rate of 50Hz or 60Hz, thus the ideal frequency that becomes the validity of considering video resource as 240Hz or the 250Hz of the integral multiple of this frequency.
Equally in this case, certainly, the number of scan control part can be arranged to s, and the separation number of incoming video signal can be arranged to the n less than s, in order to can assign to show moving image by using s n scan control section in the middle of the scan control part.
