    Abstract: A parallel processor apparatus which can perform processing with a good efficiency on signals comprised of data of different lengths. A parallel processor configured by a serial connection of a first parallel processor and a second parallel processor having n number of individual processors and (m-n) number of individual processors. For signals comprised of data of a length, serving as the unit of processing, of m or less and n or more, these parallel processors are connected and used as a single parallel processor apparatus which performs processing equivalent to that by a conventional parallel processor apparatus. For signals comprised of data of a length of n or less, these parallel processors are independently used to perform pipeline processing and thereby perform two times the amount of processing of that performed by a conventional parallel processor apparatus.

    Abstract: An image processing technique that calculates, Inter-field-interpolation spatial transition based on the sum of absolute values of differences between pixel values of an inter-field-interpolated pixel and adjacent pixels on the same field. Inter-field-interpolation temporal transition is calculated based on the sum of absolute values of differences between pixel values of the inter-field-interpolated pixel and pixels at corresponding positions on previous delayed field and present field. Intra-field-interpolation temporal transition is calculated based on the sum of absolute values of differences between pixel values of an intra-field-interpolated pixel and the pixels at the corresponding positions on the previous delayed field and the present field. The amounts of error in the interpolated pixels are calculated based on information of the inter-field-interpolation spatial transition, inter-field-interpolation temporal transition, and intra-field-interpolation temporal transition, and a pixel is generated by switching between inter-field interpolation and intra-field interpolation accordingly.

    Abstract: An image signal processing apparatus receives an image signal which has been generated by subjecting a telecine-converted image to double speed conversion. The image signal processing apparatus is operable to process the telecine-converted image signal by forming one film frame from four fields, a first field on the basis of a difference value calculated between pixel signal levels, and shifting the position of a detected pixel in a vector direction of a motion vector such that an amount of shift is progressively increased in accordance with a transition made from the identified first field to the subsequent fields.

    Abstract: The characteristic of nonlinear processing of image data are designated by means of a GUI and the processing results are immediately displayed. A personal computer (72) displays a GUI image for input on a monitor. When a user designates a nonlinear characteristic through an input device (70), the computer (72) extracts a polygonal line function representing the nonlinear characteristic and displays the function in the GUI image. In addition, the computer (72) generates a program used when a linear array type multipleparallel processor (DSP80) executes the nonlinear processing specified by the extracted polygonal line function and downloads the program in the processor (DSP80).
