Description

High definition B-MAC television signal transmission system
The present invention relates to television signal transmission system, particularly about a kind of like this television signal transmission system, it is used to transmit a kind of signal, compares with the transmission signals by the standard resolution of National Television System Committee (NTSC) or European standard, and this signal can provide higher picture resolution.
The TV signal that can both increase the transmission of image definition in the horizontal and vertical directions comes into one's own day by day.In vertical direction, sort signal can double than the line number of current standard, and simultaneously, the pixel of every row also increases in the horizontal direction.Owing to use the general level and the result of vertical resolution, the transmission signals wide screen shown to have opposite effect.If watch from a relative very near distance, spectators see that normal signal can complain that image quality is fuzzy or unclear.These disadvantageous effects can be overcome by the image of a high-resolution, but existing transmission system is not suitable for transmitting high-resolution picture.
In U.S. Patent Application Serial is 092305, has described a kind of solution that the signal transmission bandwidth provides high-resolution picture that do not need to increase in the patent application of the applying date on September 2nd, 1987.A high-resolution signal diagonal angle filtering, and in interlacing, alternately lose sample according to the digital sampling technology, stay next 5 shapes or quincunx pattern.The odd-numbered line sampling is added in the even number line sampling, forms a capable cumulative signal.Utilize the skew symmetry filtering technique, the high-resolution horizontal information is folded into carry usually in the signal area of boundary value to angle information.Loss to angle information in the transmission signals can not cause perceptible difference to high-resolution input initial on the transmitter.The letter store video is capable in transmitter, does not need a storage.In addition, compare with the insertion technology of prior art, the required digital filtering of receiver is also relatively cheap.
The another kind of solution of transmission high-resolution picture problem is to transmit a standard television signal, and makes and send a so-called enhancing passage.According to above-mentioned first kind of scheme, need a kind of new receiver, be used for handling the standard bandwidth signal that receives.According to second kind of scheme, the receiver circuit that is used to receive with the display standard resolution image needn't change, yet need an independent adjunct circuit, be used to receive the enhancing passage that comprises high-resolution data, and high-resolution data reassembled into the standard resolution image, so that a high-resolution picture is provided.
The series number that proposes on August 4th, 1988 is to have described a kind of the use in 228274 the U.S. Patent application to strengthen the method and apparatus that passage increases the definition of ntsc video signal.According to the method for using in this application, from a high definition television signals, produce a row and signal and a capable difference signal.By at the middle of bandwidth of video signal row and signal upset alternate sampling, can convert the high-resolution horizontal information to base band, and it is added on the high-resolution vertical information of row difference signal, enhancing passage on request transmits together.
But, these schemes all can not solve such problem, promptly provide a method to the problem that sends high definition MAC colour television system (MAC) TV signal, compare level and vertical resolution with the standard resolution TV signal, but do not need to change the existing MAC reception/decoding device that is used for acceptance criteria resolution MAC composite signal with increase.
During the seventies, the colleague of the inventor and Britain Independent Broadcast Authority is applied to digital TV field to inferior Nyquist sampling techniques.Be published in by the K.H Barratt and the inventor on the I.B.A.Technical Review on the 3-15 page or leaf, be entitled as in the article of " the Nyquist sampling is introduced ", describing and be used to eliminate the digital technology of obscuring.On the 21-26 page or leaf by in the one piece of companion's article that is entitled as " digital inferior nyquist filter " that J.H.Jaylor write, described a kind of comb filter that is used for video data down-conversion and up-conversion, it can be used under the occasion of PAL TV signal optimizes signal sampling.These antialiasing digital sampling technology provide experimental basis for improving horizontal resolution; Yet, still need technically a kind ofly can improve the level of the MAC colour television system TV signal that is transmitted and the method and apparatus of vertical resolution simultaneously.
The present invention relates to a kind of method and apparatus that is used for transmission and receiving high definition MAC colour television system (MAC) TV signal.Type B MAC transmission standard according to the composite signal transmission, transmit vision signal between an effective departure date, and comprised other all signals at a line blanking period or long field blanking interval, these signals comprise audio frequency at least, control data, application data and teletext.Luminance and chrominance information separately is digitized sampling during each in a video line signal, compression and transmission.According to known B-MAC standard, in order to transmit, the brightness sampling is compressed by 3: 2 ratio, and colourity was by 3: 1 ratio compression.Chrominance information converts U and V component to, transmits one-component in every line.
For general, or realize the transmission of high-definition video information down according to the restriction of the MAC colour television system standard of the inventive method, a high-level sharpness information is amounted to into the diagonal components of sampling vision signal.Be lower than 5MH z(by pattern, the time axial compression to be condensed at 3: 2 o'clock be 7MH z) base band frequency under, do not change the frequency spectrum of signal.Therefore, because the B-MAC decoder of standard generally all is equipped with 6.3MH at its input zThe passband low pass filter, folding high definition information can not influence reception.Additional transmission information on high frequency is by total blockage and ignore.
Especially, according to transmission method of the present invention, at first with 28MH z(color subcarrier 3.85MH z8 times of speed or 8F SC) to a high-definition analog tv signal orthogonal sampling.Its result obtains a two-dimensional sampling frequency spectrum, and it is by a diagonal angle digital filter then, and filter has reduced the diagonal frequencies response, but this reduction almost is inconspicuous to the televiewer.
Then, utilize interlacing to abandon alternate sampling, remove most of diagonal angle filtering data, its result stays next 5 shapes or the sampling of plum blossom figure.Because alternately remove the result of sampling, baseband frequency spectrum remains unchanged, but exist the high frequency resolution that comprises level and vertical resolution component to repeat frequency spectrum in half sampling frequency and sampling frequency place, this repetition frequency spectrum is used for additional resolution is folded into baseband signal.
After this can convert the sampling of folded signal to analog form, and by a low pass skew symmetry filter, the center is at 7 megahertzes or similar digital filter.So the high resolution information relevant with horizontal direction is folded into 5 to 7 megahertz or high fdrequency components of the baseband signal of passing through around a diagonal angle axis that is positioned at 7 megahertz places.In fact, be to have replaced angle information with high resoluting information.
According to transmitting device of the present invention, the digital diagonal angle filter of encoder can comprise independent level and vertical filter.If the horizontal filter complexity is to the decay that is enough to obtain a 40dB in stopband, the vertical filter in the transmitter can be done very simply.For example, the horizontal filter of transmitter (allows 0-5MH zPassband) on complexity, can have 16 coefficients.Allow to see a kind of like this result the very simple vertical filter that except in transmitter, being used for diagonal angle filtering that is exactly, owing to adopted the horizontal filter of a complexity in transmitter.In receiving mutually, can adopt one to be dirt cheap and simple diagonal angle filter.Particularly, a 5MH in the receiver zLow pass filter only needs to comprise 8 coefficients.Though the present invention describes by improving the luminance level definition, this technology and device also can be used for improving the horizontal definition of colourity.
A kind of embodiment that improves the colourity horizontal definition has used the principle similar with improving the luminance level definition.But, for the B-MAC signal, have been found that with better simply technology implementation colourity transmission the horizontal chrominance resolution of increase consciously is unwanted because allow.
A vertical filter inserter receives a kind of 525 row at its input, 1: 1 non-interlaced signal, a kind of 1050 row, 2: 1 interlace signal or a kind of 1125 row, 2: 1 interlace signal.This signal is in vertical direction by suitably filtering, and provides one to output to a row of 4: 1 and remove circuit.Output about centre frequency on horizontal direction that row is removed circuit is 2.5MH zThe filtering of filter, and the high-frequency signal output sampling offered a blender.This blender is with colourity, and brightness and all data/audio signal are mixed for transmission.But, before transmission, the high definition B-MAC signal of mixing can be 10.7MH by a center frequently zThe skew symmetry filter segment, the skew symmetry filter is partly eliminated obscuring in the decoded signal in conjunction with the complementary filter in the decoder.Thereby the same skew symmetry filter segment in the encoder can be brightness and colourity is handled shared.

Referring to Fig. 1, illustrate according to vertical-high-definition TV signal that horizontal resolution is drawn.
This method that adopts according to Fig. 1 is applicable to 16: the 9 the ratio of width to height images of high definition that use 525 row to line by line scan, and the horizontal resolution at 9 megahertz places has 945 row at least.Such progressive-scan signal provides 480 row vertical resolutions.
As input, is example introduction with reference to a kind of novel B-MAC signal with sort signal, and it can be loaded with the resolution that has improved in the very little scope of diagonal angle resolution loss.Yet it can be used for other MAC colour television system video signal transmission system too.The resolution that increases is folded into the video high frequency.Be lower than 5MH z(when axial compression is contracted in MAC the time is 7MH at the base band frequency place z) can not change frequency spectrum.Because the B-MAC decoder of knowing has a logical 6.3MH that is limited to of band zThe low pass input filter, the influence of the transmission information that decode operation can not be added.On the other hand, folding level detail information is recovered decoding, and produce the high-resolution picture that shows by receiver according to B-MAC decoder of the present invention.
The TV signal of standard resolution 525 row interlacing in 2: 1 respectively comprises 240 fields of effectively going by two and constitutes.Row every one (odd number) field has the skew in space with respect to the row of even field, so that all 480 effective row fitly are configured on the display screen.
Say that in principle this capable structure can provide the resolution of one 480 row for still image, yet the interlacing of standard demonstration can not obtain this value.In fact reason just is that every only shows 240 row, and the eye/brain of wishing the people gets up two occasions and feels all 480 capable, and this can not ideally accomplish.When arriving for second (late 1/60 second), first the density of being felt by eye/brain has been reduced to 50% of its initial value.Two consequences are so just arranged:
(ⅰ) in demonstration, can see capable structure.
(ⅱ) surpassing 240 frame frequencies of going partly has been confused in demonstration.
Final result is, is the interlacing demonstration of 525 row for a standard resolution, and the vertical resolution that the people felt is between 480 row and 240 row.The following vertical resolution of 480 row adopts a notion that is called " Kell coefficient " to describe usually:
The resolution of feeling=480 * 0.66(Kell coefficient)=320 go
For still image, the cancellation fully of Kell coefficient, and by in each 1/60 second field duration, show all 480 row (from the odd and even number field both) make resolution return to 480 row.This technology is called as scan conversion.This The Application of Technology comprises the field storage storage that uses all 240 of storages effectively to go.Be used on the scene and between mobile message, and show by the twice of normal line frequency.Yet owing to can take place between on the scene and the field significantly to move, this method only can be used for visual stationary part.Therefore, also need a moving detector, can be used for stationary object, and the row insertion is used for mobile object so that make interpolation field go into method.The scan conversion technology adopts adaptive field storage row doubling techniques, thereby makes still image obtain 480 row vertical resolutions, and the dynamic area of moving in image obtains approximate 320 row vertical resolutions.
Field storage row doubles to have obtained affirming of television manufacturer as a kind of standard method that increases vertical resolution.Its major advantage is can eliminate the row structure and improve image quality significantly, and need not any additional transmitted information.Some television set and projector manufacturer use the capable doubling techniques of monopolizing, and comprise Philips, Hitachi, and Sony, IRegami etc., its tangible advantage has:
1, this technology similarly is applicable to from any signal source, comprises component signal (brightness, colourity) or NTSC signal that S-VHS VCRS receives.
2, this technology is used in the television receiver, therefore, and allow retention 525 interlacing television sets (NTSC or broadband Y/C).
3, the field storage in the TV image emitter can be used for other user function, and for example imaging in the image, and noise reduces.
4, this technology does not need additional transmitted information, and makes any high definition TV (HDTV) standard can concentrate the problem of being devoted to increase horizontal definition.
The exercise question that proposes together simultaneously at Christopher Birch and this paper is " improving the method and apparatus of TV signal vertical definition with scan conversion ", application on October 11st, 1988, in the u.s. patent application serial number 255328, a kind of technology of improving the vertical resolution of TV signal has been described, the a plurality of insertion values that replace that are used to show have been used, and according to the light and shade to TV signal, the test of motion and vertical boundary transition determines a particular value selectively.
In order to solve the problem that increases horizontal resolution, existing high definition MAC system adopts inferior Nyquist (Sub-Nyguist) sampling (spectrum folding) to change angular resolution, is used to increase horizontal resolution.This process will be described in conjunction with Fig. 2 to 9, and the equipment in transmitter or the receiver will be described in conjunction with Figure 10 to 11.Whole frequencies of being quoted (bandwidth and sampling frequency) are the unpressed luminance signal of a B-MAC signal of reference all.The time axial compression equivalent bandwidth and the sampling frequency that contract in (MAC) zone must increase a 1.5(3: coefficient 2).
At first use a low-pass analog filter that the luminance signal limit of 525 row interlacing in 2: 1 is brought to 9MH zWith reference to Figure 10, this filter is called as 8.7MH zPrefilter.This bandwidth (BW) is enough wide to obtain the 945 row horizontal resolutions of each image width (PW), is calculated as follows:
OK/PW=BW * (effectively row)/(total line number) * 2/ (line frequency)=945 row/PW
The initial utilization of this signal orthogonal sampling grid as shown in Figure 2 is at 28.6MH z(8F SO) go up and sample.The orthogonal sampling result, according to Fig. 3, baseband frequency spectrum and repetition frequency spectrum are centered close to sampling frequency place as a result.Baseband frequency spectrum is reaching 9MH zOr 945 row place comprise the horizontal resolution composition.As above-mentioned calculating.
Then, reduce diagonal frequencies response (step 2) with a diagonal angle digital filter.For for simplicity,, adopt level and vertical filter separately as describing below in conjunction with Figure 10 and 11.Referring to Fig. 4, can see that diagonal angle (level-vertical) block of information at the line frequency place between 5 to 9 megahertzes in baseband frequency spectrum and the repetition frequency spectrum has been eliminated.
Now, remove sampling at interval, at approximate 14MH z(4F SO) on stay the next one " 5 shapes " (quincunx) sampling figure, do not obscure and do not produce.According to Fig. 5, the interval sampling in the interlacing has been removed.
The result of step 3 is digital sampled sequences, now has intensive 2-d spectrum shown in Figure 6, has the repetition frequency spectrum at the 14 megahertz sampling frequency places that abandoning of alternate sampling used in the step among the figure.
Before transmission, horizontal resolution rectification information is folded into transmission signals.For example, sampling can be converted into analog form, and by a transmission filter with property.This analogue transmission filter is at 7MH zTime has-the skew symmetry low-pass filter response of 6dB.Its result is shown in Fig. 7 a, and the high resolution information that moves 7 to 9 megahertzes goes to fill up the vacancy that is formed by diagonal angle filtering.Then, can adopt a digital onrecurrent (non-recursive) filter to alleviate the requirement of D/A switch, or upconvert to the sampling of 28 megahertzes, as mentioned below.
In fact, 7MH zTo 9MH zBetween horizontal resolution at 7MH zNear be folded, and replaced 5MH zTo 7MH zBetween to angular resolution.Shown in Fig. 7 b, at 7MH zThe filtering characteristic response attenuation 6dB at place.We see with in MAC colour television system (MAC) transmission since the time axial compression the contract reason of coefficient (3: 2), transmission filter is at 115 * 7MH zNear be antisymmetric.Signal is prepared transmission now.This can think step 5.
When receiving this signal, sample figure with 14MH with interlacing plum blossom (5 font) zTo this signal (step 6) of sampling again.According to Fig. 8 a, rely on the sampling again of 14 megahertzes, high-frequency information is transferred to 7-9MH zThe place.
Again sampling process has been recovered 7MH like this zWith 9MH zBetween horizontal energy.Referring to Fig. 8 b, if the transmission filter that provides in conjunction with the decoder operation has skew symmetry response A+(A-1)=1,7MH zNear decay in transmission filter also can compensate exactly with obscuring an A.In other words, at close 7MH zNo matter the place is to measure amplitude A in solid coverage area or in the dotted line overlay area, and obscuring of introducing need disappear.
The frequency spectrum of Fig. 8 is used for representing the 14MH of cinquefoil sampling zThe frequency preface, remaining work is exactly to upconvert to 28MH z, adopt a two dimensional filter to remove remaining diagonal angle energy, and the signal limit brought to 9MH z
At 14MH zCan not realize diagonal angle filtering under the sampling rate, (it is at 5-9MH zVertical frequency high in the scope produces a vacancy).Therefore, sampling rate is upconverted to 28MH zIt is the part of digital filtering process.According to Fig. 9, up-conversion and diagonal angle filtering cause a vacancy at the diagonal frequencies place, and have improved horizontal resolution.
Step 7 is at 28MH zThe place forms the sampled sequence with orthogonal sampling grid.They have a 9MH zThe aliasing free frequency spectrum of horizontal resolution.These sampling can directly be converted into analog form.Bring to 9MH in limit zAfterwards, this analog signal can show on a high-definition receiver.
On the other hand, above-mentioned sampling can directly be added to one known but distinctive, be used for the field storage scan converter that row doubles, so that increase vertical definition.As proposing simultaneously by Chrislopher Birch and the application, be entitled as in No. 255328, the U.S. Patent application of " utilizing scan conversion to improve the method and apparatus of TV signal vertical definition " and described a kind of like this device, can draw herein and do reference.The result of scan conversion be one at 56MH z(2 * 28MH z) 525 row continuous sweep signals of sampling, and have up to 18MH zHorizontal luminance resolution.(this row doubles work to be reduced effective line period half and sampling frequency and video bandwidth is all doubled).
Said method will be distinguished encoder in linking frame Figure 10 and 11 apparatus of the present invention of narrating as following, for the MAC colour television system signal transmission system provides a kind of very effective means.
The transmitter installation of Figure 10 carry out remove in the said process the transmission in steps:
Step 1 is being used a 8.7MH zAfter the prefilter, with 28MH zOrthogonal sampling;
Step 2, the filtering of digital diagonal angle;
Step 3,28MH z-14MH zAlternate sampling is lost;
And
Step 4, D/A switch and skew symmetry transmission filtering.
Though can see that diagonal angle filtering must be with 28MH zSampling rate is finished, but the work that in fact will abandon sampling in step 3 can be simplified.Figure 10 represents a structure chart, and wherein the key link of digital filtering can be at 14MH zFinish under the sampling rate.
Diagonal angle filtering is finished by two (level is with vertical) filters that separate.Learn that now vertical filter can be very simple, just, offer the row memory 101 of horizontal filter 103 and adder 102 can be finished about 40dB in the band resistance decay.In order to reach such decay, horizontal filter 103(5MH zLow pass) at 28MH z16 coefficients of Shi Caiyong.Horizontal filter is designed to the symmetrical nonrecursive filter that a usefulness 9 potential coefficient values are optimized.Figure 12 shows the response and the coefficient of this filter.
According to Figure 10. switch 100 is the 28MH after the pre-filtering zThe sample of alternately believing of sampled signal inserts two 14MH zPath.According to last path, this sampling is by vertical and horizontal filtering.Adder 102 places from deduct underpass the path, simultaneously adder 104 places on path be added on the underpass.Input at filter 103 presents a low pass pectination characteristic, and its energy at the zero frequency place is zero; Simultaneously presenting one at the output of adder 104 has energy at the zero-frequency place, and extends to 9MH always zLow frequency pectination characteristic (solid line), and one from 5MH zUpwardly extending high frequency aliasing characteristics (dotted line).Result at adder 105 outputs is that a horizontal resolution is folded to 5-7MH zThe signal that can be used for transmitting in the scope.For each a 4, b 4It is right to sample, and uses 14MH as shown in the figure zSeparately, stay next signal sampling the cinquefoil sampling from interlacing, next, owing to abandoning of alternate sampling, at 14MH zThe place has finished 28MH zWork of treatment.
Figure 11 represents decoder, also can be implemented in 14MH in it zOn digital filtering.In this case, 5MH zLow pass filter 111 only contain 8 coefficients, its characteristic response and coefficient data are as shown in Figure 13.
According to Figure 11, according at 14MH z5 shape sampling figures shown in going up are to 14MH zInput signal sampling.The last path of this decoding signals also comprises adder 112 and row memory 113.Underpass also comprises and inserts circuit 114, and it comprises signal component and postpones D and equilibrium (than two divided-frequency) circuit, the data of losing in the figure that is used for recovering sampling.At 28MH zOn, upper and lower path is become up-conversion by switch transition, and in adder 115 places addition.
Figure 14 represents the idealized two-dimentional frequency response that obtained by this system, with the comparison of the high definition 1125 row muse systems of Japanese Broadc asting company (NHK) exploitation.Muse system uses a plurality of memories.Therefore, than the costliness of the present invention that contains the scan conversion apparatus that uses a field memory many.However, concerning dynamic or still image, horizontal resolution of the present invention is equal to or is better than muse system significantly, and the scan conversion of use almost can be compared with muse system aspect vertical resolution.
