Description

Image processing equipment, image processing method and image display system
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
The present invention relates to a kind of image processing equipment, image processing method and image display system, particularly a kind of image processing equipment, image processing method and image display system that is suitable for showing moving image.
Background technology
Existence is used for the signal processing technology of image display device and the needs that Driving technique improves image quality by improvement.
Generally speaking, can improve image quality in images by resolution and level and smooth its texture that increases image.The pixel of point (point) with the expression composing images is that information content of image is expressed by unit.The pixel count of image is expressed with the number of the level of image and vertical point, and for example 800 * 600 or 1024 * 768.More particularly, pixel (point) number is many more, and image texture is just level and smooth more and amount of information composing images is just big more.
For with the high-resolution display image, (for example there is a kind of technology, refer to Patent Document 1), it is by for example using two displays 1 and 2 so that make display 1 display image in normal monotype, and in multi-mode, make each display 1 and 2 left side and the right-hand part of display image respectively, thereby in multi-mode, come display image to compare the high resolution of twice with the system that only uses a display.
[patent documentation 1] Japan patent applicant announce number flat-10-124024
If with the resolution display image 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 each point by reducing display 1 and 2 data volume and by signal processing carry out reduce the conversion of data, the transmission of carries out image data and do not improve message transmission rate.
In addition, especially, can be by improving the picture quality that frame rate improves moving image, wherein frame rate is the number of times that per second upgrades screen.
For example, when by using projecting apparatus with the moving image projection and when 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 having scanned all row of 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 be by improving the picture quality that frame rate improves moving image.Yet, to show and handle in order to carry out according to high frame rate, need to improve the processing speed of the drive circuit that is used to drive display unit, in addition, need to improve the reaction speed of the light quantity modulation element of determining image intensity.This method is difficult technically, and causes cost to improve.
Though can be known by improving the picture quality that frame rate improves moving image, in fact can not the relation of research between the picture quality of frame rate and moving image under the situation of raising frame rate.Therefore, not clear, whether might improve frame rate and come unlimited degree ground to improve the picture quality of moving image by unlimited degree ground.
Certainly, can not understand quantitatively in the relation between frame rate and the moving image under 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 was not higher than for 30 degree/seconds.
Yet studies have shown that of back followed the trail of oculomotor speed almost all cases less than the speed of sensation target.People such as Meyer have stated that the tracking speed of eyes approximately is 0.87 times about sensation target speed.(Meyer, people such as C.H., Vision Res.Vol.25, No.4, pp.561-563,1985).
Though Meyer reports, obtained 100 degree/seconds of maximum tracking speed limit, 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.This experimental conditions is 80 centimetres a 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, NHK report example (people such as Yasushi Tadokoro, the NHKTechnical Report of frame rate exist to be discussed, 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 bigger 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 short relatively 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.To moving image quality research of depending on such dynamic space frequency characteristic is important, because such research causes greatly considering to be used for the conventional form of 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 make and might under the situation that needn't improve frame rate the moving image of less deterioration be presented to the observer based on human visual system, and it is the people who watches shown moving image.

When needing, driver 28 can be connected to controller 24.Disk 31, CD 32, magneto optical disk 33 or semiconductor memory 34 are installed in the driver 28, so that transmit and reception information.
Image display device 12 is provided two row analog video signals by image signal conversion device 11 conversions, and by using scan control part 41-1 and scan control part 41-2, moving image is presented on the display part 43 based on the control of display control section 27.
Scan control part 41-1 is provided the corresponding analog video signal with outputting video signal S2, wherein, is as above reading this analog video signal with reference to figure 2 described timings from frame memory 23, and is converting thereof into analog signal by D/A conversion portion 25-1.Similarly, scan control part 41-2 is provided the corresponding analog video signal with outputting video signal S3, wherein, as above reading this analog video signal from frame memory 23, and converting thereof into analog signal by D/A conversion portion 25-2 with reference to figure 2 described timings.
Scan control part 41-1 and scan control part 41-2 be by dot sequency or row sequential scanning method, and separately the analog video signal that is provided is presented on the display part 43.At this moment, scan control part 41-1 and scan control part 41-2 can be by alternately scanning successive frame, the scanning time started of the scanning time started that makes each successive frame simultaneously with respect to subsequent frame is offset 1/2 frame, thereby with the frame rate of the twice of the frame rate of the independent carries out image drawing of scan control part 41-1 or scan control part 41-2, carries out image shows on display part 43.
Image display device 12 not only can be configured to single assembly, and can be configured to the image display system that is made of multiple arrangement.If image display device 12 is configured to image display system, then for instance, as shown in Figure 3, this image display system can be made of projecting apparatus 51-1, projecting apparatus 51-2 and screen 52.
Below with reference to example shown in Figure 3, that use projecting apparatus 51-1, projecting apparatus 51-2 and screen 52, the concrete operations of image display device 12 are described.Projecting apparatus 51-1 is corresponding to the scan control part 41-1 among Fig. 1, and projecting apparatus 51-2 is corresponding to the scan control part 41-2 among Fig. 1, and screen 52 is corresponding to the display part among Fig. 1 43.
For example, projecting apparatus 51-1 is provided the corresponding analog video signal with outputting video signal S2, wherein, is as above reading this vision signal with reference to figure 2 described timings from frame memory 23, and is converting thereof into analog signal by D/A conversion portion 25-1.Similarly, projecting apparatus 51-2 is provided the corresponding analog video signal with outputting video signal S3, wherein, is as above reading this vision signal with reference to figure 2 described timings from frame memory 23, and is converting thereof into analog signal by D/A conversion portion 25-2.
In timing based on the control of display control section 27, among projecting apparatus 51-1 and the projecting apparatus 51-2 each is by (X is Y)=(0,0) to pixel (X from pixel, Y)=(p, q) scan screen 52 in the horizontal direction, show and the corresponding two field picture of vision signal that is provided, wherein from pixel (X, Y)=(0,0) to pixel (X, Y)=(p, q) scope 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 situation with reference to figure 2 described outputting video signal S2 and outputting video signal S3, 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 provides by another, and the phase difference between its scanning is 1/m.
For example, when on the projecting apparatus 51-2 scanning screen 52 with the row of representing by scanning B on α+corresponding row of 1 frame, on the projecting apparatus 51-1 scanning screen 52 with the row of representing by scan A on α+corresponding row of 2 frames.By the row represented of scanning B is 1/2 row with respect to the line number of a frame of line displacement of being represented by scan A.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 display 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 300Hz in fact.
In addition, for prevent by scan A and scanning among the B corresponding one deviation takes place between the scan line that same position forms, might be by using and being used for the image optical position correction similar techniques that traditional what is called becomes dual-stack (twin stack) technology, the scanning position of correction pixels.Becoming the dual-stack technology is a kind ofly can show that in the identical time and in same position identical image shows the technology of bright image by using two projecting apparatus.When using into the dual-stack technology and come display image, the brightness of shown image becomes the twice height, thereby even under the situation of bright light environments or long projector distance, also can realize projection clearly.
Become the use of dual-stack technology to cause such problem, promptly owing to the deviation between the location of pixels of two projected images take place 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) so that 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 under the situation of each two field picture with respect to subsequent frame image shift 1/2 frame, by the scanning of the image of one in the projecting apparatus frame that begins to be used to paint early than finish by another projecting apparatus scanning and 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, show the object C of α+1 frame by projecting apparatus 51-2 at 1/m.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, show 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 display image of each output from projecting apparatus 51-1 and projecting apparatus 51-2 is 150Hz,, rewrite the frame of the moving image that shows by each the independent projecting apparatus among projecting apparatus 51-1 and the projecting apparatus 51-2 with the interval of 1/150 (second).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.

Though the NTSC frame rate more correctly was 59.94 frame/seconds,, NTSC frame rate mentioned herein was defined as for 60 frame/seconds according to those skilled in the art's convention.Similarly, 59.94 multiple is called 60 multiple.More particularly, be called 60,120,180,240,300,360,420 and 480 at this respectively with 59.94,119.88,179.82,239.76,299.70,359.64,418.58 and 479.52.
Therefore,, 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 if the separation number of incoming video signal for example is n.Be offset the 1/n of display cycle of a frame of outputting video signal separately respectively mutually 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 show moving image with the frame rate that n is doubly high basically.
In addition, the number of scan control part can be arranged to s, and the separation number of vision signal can be arranged to n, so that by using s n scan control section in the middle of the scan control part to assign to show moving image less than s.
In the description of carrying out in conjunction with Fig. 1 and Fig. 6, with reference to image display system, wherein each is made of image signal conversion device and image display device in the above, 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, the image display device that can be used for the frame memory of stored video signal and be used for display image by identical controller control.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 display present the most widely-used 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, move the image quality in images deterioration 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.
Fig. 9 shows the example of the actual scene that stationary objects and motion object 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 motion object 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 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 on the retina coordinate of eyes has shown position change comprehensive on time orientation, thereby feels motion to liking fuzzy image.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 on the retina coordinate, move to as if dim visible.In order to show moving image with verisimilitude, that is, look like the high quality motion picture of smooth motion, with such corresponding to video image of actual identification be 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.Longitudinal axis express time axle, and transverse axis is represented 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 during staring and following the tracks of the observer to the identification of the motion in the external world.Arrow shown in broken lines is represented the motion of observer's viewpoint, that is, and and the direction of comprehensive video image on retina.The arrow of Yan Shening comprehensive direction during being illustrated in and staring, and the arrow that in an inclined direction extends in vertical direction 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.
Below will be according to image capture conditions, display condition and observation condition, be described with reference to Figure 13 when the motion of catching by the still image catching method as moving-image reproducing, 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 result that promptly obtains by the light that comprehensively shows on the direction of comprehensive axle of the sight line direction of motion as moving image.
Figure 13 A shows the identification of observer under 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 under 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 under 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 under the situation of the image of catching by the high-speed shutter technology and being shown by the maintenance display.
Maintenance is meant 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 that unit is arranged in the upright position on the screen and is drivings such as the unit voltage that is arranged in the horizontal level on the screen, electric current with the predetermined length by being applied to separately with the predetermined length.
From Figure 13 A to 13D as can be seen, the moving image quality deterioration is different under different conditions.For example, with in Figure 13 or 13C by tracking the identification of observed motion object compare, in Figure 13 B and 13D by following the tracks of observed motion to as if dim visible.This phenomenon is known as " motion blur ", and it is that the display of operating under the maintenance launching condition is peculiar." motion blur " is occur in the object that the observer is watching attentively fuzzy, and is the deterioration that the observer feels easily.
In addition, occur such as such deterioration, promptly in Fig. 3 D owing to stare stroboscopic artifact (shake) that causes and the stroboscopic artifact that in Figure 13 A and 13C, causes owing to tracking.The stroboscopic artifact is meant such moving image deterioration, it makes the observer see a plurality of copies of motion object (such as automobile) simultaneously, 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 the motion object is carrying out rough discrete motion.Therefore, under many circumstances, the stroboscopic artifact that occurs in by the motion object stared and tracked fixed object is the deterioration that occurs in the part different with the object of just being watched attentively, 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 motion object during staring and the relation between the sight line, 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 deterioration of highly significant takes place.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, so that prevent such moving image quality deterioration: for example the motion object is when being followed the tracks of by video camera, catch by video camera, and on display screen, show the motion object of being caught, perhaps introduce being known as bluring of motion blur and suppressing the stroboscopic artifact with the state of fixed object.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 interested motion of objects is uncertain.
According to the angular speed of motion object, above-mentioned moving image quality deterioration increases.Therefore, if the moving image of same video scene is presented on the display that has with great visual angle, the quality of moving image deterioration more significantly then.In addition, the attempt that increases resolution improves above-mentioned moving image quality deterioration hardly.On the contrary, resolution is high more to cause the improvement of rest image quality big more, thereby the moving image quality deterioration becomes more remarkable.Along with developing more screen sizes and more high-resolution display, can expect above-mentioned moving image quality will become bigger problem in the future.
The reason of moving image quality deterioration is the shortage of time reproducibility.Therefore, basic solution is an improvement time reproducibility.More particularly, useful solution is to improve to be used for image and to catch and show both frame rate.
With the relation of describing in more detail between moving image quality deterioration and the display type.
For example, from between Figure 13 A and the 13B more as can be seen, the length of the motion object images of visually discerning by tracking in Figure 13 B is longer than the length of the motion object images of visually discerning by following the tracks of in Figure 13 A, thereby with the situation of impulse type display relatively, the motion blur of being felt by the observer of the motion object of tracing display on the maintenance display becomes big.On the other hand, from such fact, promptly 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 continuous images on direction in space by tracking, as can be seen, 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 between Figure 13 C and the 13D more as can be seen, the length of the motion object images of visually discerning by tracking in Figure 13 D is longer than the length of the motion object images of visually discerning by following the tracks of in Figure 13 C, thereby with the situation of impulse type display relatively, the motion blur of being felt by the observer of the motion object of tracing display on the maintenance display becomes big.On the other hand, from such fact, promptly 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 continuous images on direction in space by tracking, as can be seen, 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 motion object shown in Figure 13 A and fixed object is same as the motion object shown in Figure 13 B and the identification of fixed object, and the identification of motion object shown in Figure 13 C and fixed object is same as the motion object shown in Figure 13 D and the identification of fixed object, but the identification of motion object shown in Figure 13 A and the 13B and fixed object is different from the motion object shown in Figure 13 C and the 13D and the identification of fixed object.From this fact as can be seen, the identification of motion object 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, as can be seen, even catch the motion object of its image, also imperceptible stroboscopic artifact (shake) by opening fast gate technique by staring observation, if but catch the motion object of its image by staring observation by the high-speed shutter technology, then feel stroboscopic artifact (shake).
The improvement degree of the moving image deterioration 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 identification of observer to moving image, its with above doubling with reference to the frame rate under the described situation of Figure 13, by opening that fast gate technique is caught and showing by the impulse type display.Figure 15 B shows the identification of observer to moving image, its with above doubling with reference to the frame rate under the described situation of Figure 13, by opening that fast gate technique is caught and showing by the maintenance display.Figure 15 C shows the identification of observer to moving image, its with above doubling with reference to the frame rate under the described situation of Figure 13, catch and show by the high-speed shutter technology by the impulse type display.Figure 15 D shows the identification of observer to moving image, its with above doubling with reference to the frame rate under the described situation of Figure 13, catch and show by the high-speed shutter technology by the maintenance display.
Shown in Figure 15 A each in the 15D, each catch with display packing in, the fuzzy quantity that will cause owing to fuzzy artifact in the identification of display image reduces to half.In addition, improved the image deterioration that causes owing to the stroboscopic artifact, big because the dispersed number of stroboscopic becomes twice.More particularly, fuzzy artifact and stroboscopic artifact are improved linearly with respect to the raising of frame rate.In addition, along with improving frame rate, the difference that depends between the quality of moving image quality deterioration in shutter cycle and emission cycle reduces.More particularly, can think that the frame rate of raising is the very useful mode that is used to improve 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 length of the motion object of visually feeling by tracking in Figure 15 B apparently, and the motion object of visually feeling by tracking in Figure 13 B is less than the ratio of length with the length of the motion object of visually feeling by tracking in Figure 13 A of the motion object 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 length of the motion object of visually feeling by tracking in Figure 15 D apparently, and the motion object of visually feeling by tracking in Figure 13 D is less than the ratio of length with the length of the motion object of visually feeling by tracking in Figure 13 C of the motion object of visually feeling by tracking in Figure 15 C.
More particularly, can think that if improve the frame rate of pulse and maintenance display similarly, 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 takes place 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,,, under tracking condition, its moving image quality is carried out evaluation and test according to shake and motion blur by the visual psychology Physical Experiment.
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, for example by opening proper motion image, CG motion and the video image that the shutter video is caught.Providing evaluation and test according to following deterioration yardstick divides: evaluation and test value 5=" deterioration is imperceptible ", but evaluation and test value 4=" deterioration is realizable not disagreeable ", but evaluation and test value 3=" deterioration be realizable be not the " of obstruction, evaluation and test value 2=" deterioration is the " that hinders, and evaluation and test value 1=" deterioration is the " that hinders very much.In addition, provide evaluation and test according to following evaluation and test yardstick and divide: the very good " of evaluation and test value 5=", the good " of evaluation and test value 4=", the medium " of evaluation and test value 3=", evaluation and test value 2=" difference ", and the non-constant " of evaluation and test value 1=".In this experiment, the tested object of enough numbers has been carried out evaluation and test, so that realize research about the evaluation and test of general motion picture quality.In Figure 16 and 17, mean value and standard deviation have been drawn about evaluation and test value all scenes, that provide by all tested objects.
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, promptly 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, promptly 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 motion blur of especially significant moving image quality deterioration.More particularly, this fact has hinted it is desirable frequency near the 250fps, and it considers the validity of present widely used video resource.Specifically, as previously mentioned, a large amount of present 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.
Below this evaluation and test will be described in more detail.In EBU (European Broadcasting Union) method, evaluation and test value 4.5 is sensation limit values, thereon, be worth in corresponding any zone with the evaluation and test that is higher than 4.5, indifference is imperceptible basically, and evaluation and test value 3.5 is to allow limit value, at it down, be worth in corresponding any zone with the evaluation and test 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, with the corresponding frame rate of sensation limit value of evaluation and test value 4.5 be 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 discern.
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, can improve the moving image quality deterioration.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, can improve the moving image quality deterioration.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 by catching the video image that each all has 60 frame rate, by means of three panel type prisms video image was offset 1/180 second mutually simultaneously, can easily obtains such vision signal.
In addition, have been found that from a series of experiments in the time will showing computer graphic 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, 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 owing to the deterioration in image quality that causes of shake.
Above with reference to figure 1 or shown in Figure 6, can be used for showing moving image that wherein 240Hz or 250Hz are the frequencies that equals 50Hz or 60Hz integral multiple with 240Hz or 250Hz 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.
Projecting apparatus 51-1 each in the 51-n is in the timing based on the control of display control section 27, form the pixel (X of the display image that will be shown by scanning in the horizontal direction, Y)=(0,0) to pixel (X, Y)=(p, q), on screen 52, show and the corresponding two field picture of vision signal that is provided.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 projecting apparatus 51-1 each in the 51-n 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.Begin 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 scan on the screen 52 with the row of representing with scanning B on α+1 frame corresponding when capable, on the projecting apparatus 51-3 scanning screen 52 with the row of representing with scan A on α+corresponding row of 2 frames.With the row represented of scanning B is 1/n with respect to the line number of a frame of line displacement of representing with scan A.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, perhaps will partly be separated into four frame and sequentially offer four frame memories respectively and be stored in wherein by data separating from the picture signal of frame memory output.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 four scan control parts respectively.
First scan control partly control α frame, α+4 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S2.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.Respectively the frame rate of the frame of the outputting video signal that partly shows by first to the 4th scan control be incoming video signal frame rate 1/4, and the scanning time started of the frame that partly scans by first to the 4th scan control respectively be offset 1/4 of the required scan period of a frame showing outputting video signal S2 each in the S5 mutually.
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, perhaps will partly be separated into five frame and sequentially offer five frame memories respectively and be stored in wherein by data separating from the picture signal of frame memory output.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 five scan control parts respectively.
First scan control partly control α frame, α+5 frames ... demonstration, all these frames are corresponding to outputting video signal S2.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.Respectively the frame rate of the frame of the outputting video signal that partly shows by first to the 5th scan control be incoming video signal frame rate 1/5, and the scanning time started of the frame that partly scans by first to the 5th scan control respectively be offset 1/5 of the required scan period of a frame showing outputting video signal S2 each in the S6 mutually.
With during the moving image of the most widely used 50Hz or 60Hz shows at present, be significant such as moving image quality deterioration fuzzy or shake.On the other hand, for example, when 4 or 5 as the time according to the separation number n of vision signal of the present invention, 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 moving image with high frame rate.For example, when the separation number of incoming video signal is n=4, and when the frame rate of the display image of each output of projecting apparatus 51-1 to 51-4 was 60Hz, the frame rate that is presented at the moving image on the screen 52 became 240Hz basically.In addition, for example, when the separation number of incoming video signal is n=5, and when the frame rate of the display image of each output of projecting apparatus 51-1 to 51-4 was 50Hz, the frame rate that is presented at the moving image on the screen 52 became 250Hz basically.
As previously mentioned, a large amount of present widely used video resources have the frame rate of 50Hz or 60Hz, thereby as the 240Hz of the integral multiple of this frequency or the ideal frequency that 250Hz becomes the validity of considering video resource.
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 n, so that can assign to show moving image by using s n scan control section in the middle of the scan control part less than s.
