Abstract

PURPOSE:To remarkably reduce color slurring at an edge by detecting an edge of a luminance signal and selecting adaptively a color difference filter so that an edge of a color difference signal is reproduced at the same position as the edge of the luminance signal. CONSTITUTION:A luminance signal 1 is subjected to band limit by a luminance filter 2 and which of outputs 3a, 3b is closer to the luminance signal 1 is decided by a filter selector 4. A color difference signal 6 is subjected to band limit by a color difference filter 7 and the output of the color difference filter represented by a selection signal 5 of the filter selector 4 is selected by a selector 9 and a thinning signal 10 is obtained, as a criterion of the filter selector 4 to select the selection signal 5, a filter storing an edge or the like is selected, since the luminance filter 2 and the color difference filter 7 are respectively selected among plural filters, filters with low degree are switched for plural number of times, then the filter copes with lots of picture signals efficiently, then the scale of the hardware is reduced more than the case of employing usual high-degree filters.

For example, the principle of edge detection will be explained as a method that utilizes this correlation. In a general image, the edges of the luminance signal and the edges of the color difference signal match, and color blurring becomes noticeable at the edges due to the color difference filter used to thin out the color difference signal. Therefore, by adaptively selecting a color difference filter that detects the edges of the luminance signal and reproduces the edges of the color difference signal at the same positions as the edges of the luminance signal, color blurring at the edges can be significantly reduced. . FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of edge correction, where the solid line represents the amplitude of the luminance signal and the broken line represents the change in the amplitude of the color difference signal. FIG. 5A shows a case where a normal color difference filter is used, and the color difference signal is spread at the edge portion of the luminance signal.

However, even if the edges of the color difference signal of the original signal do not match the edges of the luminance signal as shown in (C) of the same figure, the edges match as shown in the gap (d). This rarely occurs, and even if it does occur, there is no visual problem. Now, in FIG. 1, a luminance input signal 1 is band-limited by a luminance filter 2, and a filter selector 4 determines which of the filter outputs 3a and 3b is closer to the luminance signal 1. - The old color difference input signal 6 is band-limited by the color difference filter 7, and the output of the color difference filter indicated by the selection signal 5 of the filter selector 4 is switched by the selector 9, and the thinned-out signal 1
It becomes 0. This thinned signal may be output at the same rate as the color difference input signal 6, but may also be output at a lower rate. As a criterion for selecting the selection signal 5 by the filter selector 4, a filter that preserves the edge described above may be selected, or other criteria may be used for determination. Since one of the brightness filters 2 and color difference filters 7 is selected from a plurality of filters, it is possible to more efficiently handle various types of image signals by switching between multiple low-order filters, compared to using ordinary high-order filters. It is also possible to reduce the hardware scale.

In the first embodiment, the color difference signal is switched by the filter output of the luminance signal at the position corresponding to the color difference signal, but in this embodiment, the color difference signal is switched by the filter output of the luminance signal at a plurality of positions in the vicinity of the position corresponding to the color difference signal. Switch the signal. Although the configuration of this embodiment increases the hardware scale compared to the previous embodiments, it is possible to switch the color difference filters more appropriately and improve image quality. The error calculator 11a calculates the error between the luminance signals obtained by processing the input signals 1a and 1b by the luminance filters 2a and 2b, respectively, and the original luminance signal, and calculates the error between the luminance signals processed by the luminance filters 2C and 2d in the same way and the original luminance. The error with the signal is calculated by the error calculator 11b. The error signal 12 is processed by the filter selector 4, and the subsequent operation is the same as in the first embodiment. That is, two brightness filters 2 and the error calculator 11 correspond to one brightness filter in the previous embodiment. By calculating the error using multiple luminance filters as in this example, it is possible to judge between line areas and edge boundaries (boundaries between flat areas), and for line areas, a normal color difference band filter is selected, By selecting a color difference filter that preserves edges at edge boundaries, it is possible to improve the image quality only at the edges and prevent aliasing distortion caused by the adaptive filter that occurs at line areas.

As described above, according to this embodiment, image quality can be improved by adaptively switching the color difference filters based on the luminance signal.

The operation of the thinning filter device of this embodiment configured as described above will be described below. The luminance filter 20 of this embodiment operates in the same manner as the interior surrounded by the broken line of the luminance filter of the second embodiment, and the color difference filter 26 operates the same as the interior surrounded by the dashed line of the color difference filter of the second embodiment. Perform the action. In the second embodiment, a plurality of luminance filters are required, but in order to thin out color difference signals at different positions, the same luminance filter processing may be necessary for luminance signals at the same position. In such a case, it is wasteful to repeatedly perform the same luminance filter processing, and the luminance signal processed by applying the -4y luminance filter is temporarily stored in memory and read out repeatedly later to perform the luminance filter processing. can be reduced. Reference numeral 22 denotes a memory that temporarily stores the luminance signal subjected to the luminance filter, and a color difference filter is selected by the filter selector 4 according to the memory output signal 23. The color difference input signal 6 is delayed in the memory 24 by the time necessary for processing in the memory 22 and the filter selector 3, and then input to the color difference filter 26. The color difference filter 26 is processed by the color difference filter indicated by the selection signal 5 and then thinned out to become a thinned signal 10.
