本发明涉及使用运动和空间相关的隔行向逐行转换(interlaced-to-progressive conversion)装置和方法。特别是,本发明涉及依据运动和空间相关通过空间或时间地内插将隔行图像信号转换成逐行图像信号的装置和方法。The present invention relates to an interlaced-to-progressive conversion apparatus and method using motion and space correlation. In particular, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for converting an interlaced image signal into a progressive image signal by spatially or temporally interpolating depending on motion and spatial correlation.
通常,隔行向逐行转换(IPC)装置已广泛用于减少因隔行扫描造成的许多后生现象(artifacts),即,在诸如NTSC、PAL、SECAM等系统中的垂直分辨率劣化、扫描行闪烁、和宽域闪烁。Generally, interlace-to-progressive conversion (IPC) devices have been widely used to reduce many artifacts caused by interlacing, namely, vertical resolution degradation, scan line flicker, and wide area flashes.
近来,由于高清晰度电视(HDTV)系统采用了对于信号格式的多种标准并经常需要在不同格式的标准输入/输出信号间进行转换,因此,隔行向逐行转换装置已变得更加重要。Recently, interlace-to-progressive converters have become more important because high-definition television (HDTV) systems employ multiple standards for signal formats and often require conversion between standard input/output signals of different formats.
已在早期阶段发展起来的隔行向逐行转换算法供诸如NTSC、PAL、SECAM等系统使用。已提出的各种算法通常以重放被排除在隔行扫描以外的行的内插为基础。The interlaced to progressive conversion algorithm that has been developed at an early stage is used by systems such as NTSC, PAL, SECAM, etc. Algorithms that have been proposed are generally based on the interpolation of replaying lines excluded from interlacing.

上面的隔行向逐行转换方法可大致分为空间内插方法、时间内插方法和空间内插和时间内插组合的三维内插方法。The above interlaced to progressive conversion methods can be roughly divided into spatial interpolation methods, temporal interpolation methods, and three-dimensional interpolation methods combining spatial interpolation and temporal interpolation.
在三维内插方法中,由于错误的时间内插可导致诸如后生现象撕裂(tearing-artifact)之类的图像质量劣化,检测图像中的运动并根据所检测的运动适当地执行时间内插是很重要的。这归因于由于实际图像信号中时间取样速率小于奈奎斯特(Nyquist)速率而使可在理论上确定的最大时间频率被限定的事实造成的。In the three-dimensional interpolation method, since erroneous temporal interpolation can cause image quality degradation such as tearing-artifact, detecting motion in an image and performing temporal interpolation appropriately according to the detected motion are very important. This is due to the fact that the theoretically determinable maximum temporal frequency is limited due to the fact that the temporal sampling rate in actual image signals is smaller than the Nyquist rate.
然而,正如本发明所提出的:通过与运动信息一起使用取样的空间信息可以增加运动信息的可靠性。However, as proposed by the present invention, the reliability of the motion information can be increased by using the sampled spatial information together with the motion information.

In addition, if the current field is an even field, the previous field and the next field are odd fields.
现在参考图3描述图2所示装置的操作。Referring now to FIG. 3, the operation of the apparatus shown in FIG. 2 will be described.
在图2中,隔行图像信号Vin被输入到场存储器210、取样延迟器201和行延迟器202。In FIG. 2 , an interlaced image signal Vin is input to a
场存储器210存储所输入的图像信号Vin的一场并输出被延迟一个场周期的图像信号。场存储器220从场存储器210输入该延迟的图像信号,存储该延迟的图像信号的一场,并输出与所输入的原始输入信号Vin相比被延迟两个场周期的图像信号。场存储器210和220由先入先出(FIFO)存储器构成。The
取样延迟器201输入隔行图像信号Vin,将该信号延迟1个取样周期,并输出图3所示下一个场的取样w5。行延迟器202接收该输入信号Vin,将该信号延迟1个水平行周期,并当取样延迟器201输出取样w5时输出取样w4。取样延迟器203将行延迟器202输出的信号延迟1个取样周期,并输出取样信号w3。取样延迟器204将取样延迟器203输出的信号延迟1个取样周期,并输出取样信号w2。行延迟器205将行延迟器202输出的信号延迟1个水平行周期。取样延迟器206将行延迟器205输出的信号延迟1个取样周期,并输出取样信号w1。The
同时,取样延迟器211进一步将来自场存储器210的被延迟1个场周期的信号延迟1个取样周期,并输出取样x2。行延迟器212将场存储器210输出的信号延迟1个水平行周期。取样延迟器213将行延迟器212输出的信号延迟1个取样周期,并输出取样信号x1。Meanwhile, the
取样延迟器221进一步将来自场存储器210的被延迟2个场周期的信号延迟1个取样周期,并输出取样v5。行延迟器222将场存储器220输出的信号延迟1个水平行周期,并输出取样v4。取样延迟器223将行延迟器222输出的信号延迟1个取样周期,并输出取样信号v3。取样延迟器224将取样延迟器223输出的信号延迟1个取样周期,并输出取样信号v2。行延迟器225将行延迟器222输出的信号延迟1个水平行周期。取样延迟器226将行延迟器225输出的信号延迟1个取样周期,并输出取样信号v1。The
运动相关器230接收前一场的取样v1至v5和下一场的取样w1至w5,计算并输出运动相关DM。此时,通过公式(1)来计算运动相关器230输出的运动相关DM。
运动相关DM是用于估算将由内插恢复的取样的位置的相邻处是否产生运动的测量结果(图3中的x是x1和x2的几何中点)。Motion-related DM is a measurement used to estimate whether motion is generated adjacent to the position of the sample to be recovered by interpolation (x in FIG. 3 is the geometric midpoint of x1 and x2).
减法器241从由取样延迟器213输出的取样数据x1中减去由取样延迟器211输出的取样数据x2,并输出相减结果。此后,绝对值电路242计算相减结果的绝对值并输出该绝对值作为垂直相关DV。The
因此,可用公式(2)表示垂直相关DV。Therefore, formula (2) can be used to express the vertical correlation DV.
DV=|x1-x2| …(2)...(2)
加法器251将取样数据v3加到取样数据w3。加法器252将取样数据x1加到取样数据x2。The
减法器253从由加法器251输出的信号中减去由加法器252输出的信号,并输出相减结果。此后,绝对值电路254计算相减结果的绝对值并输出该绝对值作为时间垂直相关DT。The
因此,可用公式(3)表示时间垂直相关DT。Therefore, formula (3) can be used to express the time vertical correlation DT.
DT=|(v3+w3)-(x1+x2)| …(3) Time
将运动相关器230输出的运动相关DM、绝对值电路242输出的垂直相关DV、和绝对值电路254输出的时间垂直相关DT输入到图1所示的选择器140。The motion correlation DM output from the
参考图4所示流程描述选择器140的操作。The operation of the
图4中,选择器140将运动相关DM与常数TM比较(步骤S101)。如果运动相关DM大于表明产生运动的常数TM,选择器140选择并输出来自空间内插器110的空间内插信号(步骤S102)。In FIG. 4, the
如果在步骤S101中运动相关DM不大于运动常数TM,选择器140将垂直相关DV与常数T1比较(步骤S103)。如果垂直相关DV大于常数T1,选择器140选择并输出来自时间内插器120的时间内插信号It(步骤S104)。If the motion correlation DM is not greater than the motion constant TM in step S101, the
在此,当运动相关DM不大于常数TM时将垂直相关DV与常数T1相比较的原因是因为可由错误的时间内插产生的后生现象按垂直相关DV的大小而在视觉上的感受不同。当垂直相关DV大于常数T1时,由于图像信号在垂直方向相关更小,在视觉上不容易察觉到因错误的时间内插产生的后生现象。因此,当DM不大于TM并且DV大于T1时,由选择器140选择并输出来自时间内插器120的信号It(步骤S104)。Here, the reason why the vertical correlation DV is compared with the constant T1 when the motion correlation DM is not greater than the constant TM is because artifacts that may be generated by erroneous temporal interpolation are visually perceived differently according to the magnitude of the vertical correlation DV. When the vertical correlation DV is greater than the constant T1, since the image signal is less correlated in the vertical direction, it is not easy to detect the artifacts caused by wrong time interpolation visually. Therefore, when DM is not greater than TM and DV is greater than T1, the signal It from the
然而,当DM小于TM并且DV小于T1时,更容易在视觉上觉察到因错误的时间内插产生的后生现象。因此,选择器140根据表明时间内插和垂直内插之间相关的时间垂直相关DT选择并输出来自空间内插器110的信号Is或来自时间内插器120的信号It。However, when DM is smaller than TM and DV is smaller than T1, artifacts due to erroneous temporal interpolation are more easily perceived visually. Therefore, the
即,当运动相关DM不大于常数TM并且垂直相关DV不大于常数T1时,选择器140将时间垂直相关DT与常数T2比较(步骤S105)。如果时间垂直相关DT大于常数T2,由于时间内插和垂直内插之间的相关较小,选择器140选择并输出来自空间内插器110的信号Is,以便减小后生现象的影响(步骤S106)。同时,如果时间垂直相关DT不大于常数T2,由于时间内插和垂直内插之间的相关较大,选择器140选择并输出来自时间内插器120的输出信号It(步骤S107)。That is, when the motion correlation DM is not larger than the constant TM and the vertical correlation DV is not larger than the constant T1, the
如上所述,根据本发明的隔行向逐行转换装置和方法使用运动和空间相关两者来时间或空间地内插隔行图像信号,并增强有关运动信息的可靠性和有效地减少后生现象。As described above, the interlaced-to-progressive converting apparatus and method according to the present invention temporally or spatially interpolate an interlaced image signal using both motion and spatial correlation, and enhance reliability of motion-related information and effectively reduce artifacts.
