    Abstract: A waveform equalizing filter unit of a simplified circuit configuration for use in a MUSE decoder or the like. The filter unit comprises a waveform equalizing filter with a plurality of taps each having a unitary delay element and a coefficient multiplier; a clock switching circuit for selecting one of clock signals of at least two different frequencies inputted thereto, and outputting the selected clock signal to the unitary delay elements of the waveform equalizing filter; and a control means for selectively switching the tap coefficients of the coefiicient multpliers in the waveform equalizing filter in accordance with the operation of switching the clock signals by the clock switching circuit. A signal timing adjuster is further included in a stage anterior to the waveform equalizing filter so as to adjust the timing to switch the input signal in synchronism with the clock switching operation. In such constitution, optimal signal waveform equalization conforming to each distortion characteristic can be achieved in a simplified circuit configuration by selectively switching both sampling rates and tap coefficients of a single waveform equalizing filter in accordance with the distortion characteristic.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress deterioration in image quality by adaptively performing compressive coding with a local quality in an image signal. SOLUTION: A block processing part 21 blocks the image signal DVi such that each of divided parts obtained by dividing one line into a plurality of parts becomes one block and generates a block discrimination signal BL that can partition each block. A maximum value information determining part 22 extracts an initial value P being a signal of a first pixel for each block on the basis of the image signal DVi and the discrimination signal BL and also determines maximum value information Q showing in which range the maximum value of an absolute value of a signal level difference between pixels is located. An encoding processing part 25 applies nonlinear quantization processing to a level difference signal ED between the pixels with independent nonlinear characteristic for each block to generate a compressed image signal DWi. In this case, the nonlinear characteristic is determined on the basis of coded bit length information R and the maximum value information Q inputted by a user's operation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize picture display by making the deterioration of picture quality inconspicuous without increasing the scale of a horizontal deflecting circuit even at the time of using a picture signal of a format whose horizontal synchronizing frequency is different.
    SOLUTION: The synchronizing signal of a picture signal Dga is detected by a synchronization detecting part 21, and the signal format of the picture signal Dga is judged by a control unit 30 based on the detected synchronizing signal. When it is judged that the judged signal format is a progressive scanning system, and the horizontal synchronizing frequency is higher than a horizontally deflectable frequency, the vertical synchronizing frequency of the picture signal Dga is changed by a signal converting part 22, and the picture signal Dga is converted into a picture signal Dgb whose horizontal synchronizing frequency is the horizontally deflectable frequency as an interlace scanning system signal, and picture display is executed by using the picture signal Dgb.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a high quality of pictures nearly equivalent to those processed on the 10-bit base whereas they are basically processed on the 8-bit base. SOLUTION: A bit extender 35 receives input picture signals of 8 bits. An LPF 51 extracts low frequency components of the inputted picture signals and supplies them to a subtractor 52 and an adder 53. The subtractor 52 subtracts the picture signals of only the low frequency components outputted from the LPF 51 from the picture signals containing all the frequency components, and as the result, outputs the picture signals of only high frequency components from the subtractor 52, thus supplying the picture signals of high frequency components from the subtractor 52 to the adder 53 via a rounding unit 54. The adder 53 adds the supplied picture signals of the low frequency components and those of high frequency components to generate picture signals of all frequency components, and supplies them to a limiter 55. The limiter 55 checks and processes to limit the range of the supplied picture signals within which the picture signals can be handled at following stages. This is applicable to television receivers.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image signal conversion method by which occurrence of a difference from line numbers between fields of a converted HD signal can be suppressed. SOLUTION: Whether or not an SD signal received by the image conversion system of this invention is a standard signal in compliance with the NTSC standards is discriminated on the basis of a discrimination signal received from a three-dimensional YC separation device in a step S1. In the case that the received SD signal is discriminated to be the standard signal, a standard system is decided for the synchronization system in a step S2. On the contrary, in the case that the received SD signal is discriminated to be no standard signal in the step S1, a non-standard system is decided for the synchronization system in a step S3.

Then, a bit conversion circuit 63 of recursive filter 30B extends this motion detection signal in the direction of time base through bit conversion.
