First, conversion to progressive scanning corresponding to moving images is realized by the configuration shown in FIG. That is, the interlaced scanning input image signal 65 is subjected to a vertical one-dimensional filter in the filter circuit 14 to obtain the image signal 6
The pixel values of the phases between the five scanning lines are interpolated and output as a signal 66. As a configuration of the filter circuit 14, for example, signals of two scanning lines are input and an average value in the vertical direction is output. The signals 65 and 66 are input to the double speed conversion circuits 15 and 16, respectively, and converted into double speed to become signals 67 and 68, respectively. In the selection circuit 17, a selection signal 69 which is switched for each scanning line of sequential scanning
Thus, the signal 67 and the signal 68 are switched to sequentially output the scanning signal 70. The signal 70 has the value itself of the signal 65 in the phase that coincides with the scanning line position of the signal 65, and has the value of the output of the filter circuit 14 in the phase between the scanning lines of the signal 65. Assuming that the vertical signal band that can be represented by the progressive scanning signal is f1, the scan conversion filter characteristic of the above processing is f1 / 2 as shown in FIG. 9 as an example.

According to the first scan conversion method of the present invention, the interlaced scanning signal is subjected to 0 interpolation to be progressively scanned so that the progressive scanning line as shown in FIG. By applying a vertical reduction pass filter having a pass band (f2) wider than 1/2 of the vertical signal band (f1) that can be expressed by the intervals, it is converted into a progressive scan image signal. The vertical signal band that can be represented in the field by the interlaced scanning original signal is f1 / 2, and it is desirable to effectively use the signal band up to f1 / 2, but in the filter of the conventional technique, the roll-off value is set to 0. Therefore, it is unavoidable that there is a portion where the gain is 1 or less even in the signal band of f1 / 2 or less. In the present invention, by making the pass band of the filter wider than f1 / 2, many distortion components of f1 / 2 or more are included, but it is effective without significantly attenuating the gain of the signal band of f1 / 2 or less. It becomes possible to use. Further, since this distortion component visually acts in the direction of improving the sharpness, it is possible to select the pass band of the filter so as not to cause a large deterioration in image quality. Therefore, according to the present invention, the image quality during a moving image is improved as compared with the conventional method.

According to the second scan conversion method of the present invention, a signal component having a higher frequency in the horizontal direction is added to the vertical / temporal space of a signal obtained by subjecting an interlaced scan signal to 0 interpolation to sequentially scan the signal. In step 1, a reduction pass filter having a wide pass band is applied to convert the image signal into progressive scan image signals. Generally, the above-mentioned distortion component of f1 / 2 or more is visually more noticeable as the horizontal low-frequency component. Therefore, the lower the horizontal frequency component, the narrower the pass band of the filter is to remove the visual deterioration component, and the higher the horizontal frequency component is, the wider the filter pass band is. It is possible to improve the image quality.

It is used as a progressive scanning signal. As described above, since the image quality of the progressive scan signal obtained by the first or second scan conversion method of the present invention is improved as compared with that in the moving image of the conventional technique, the image quality with the progressive scan signal in the still image is improved. The difference is getting smaller. Therefore, it is possible to reduce deterioration of image quality due to switching from still image processing to moving image processing or from moving image processing to still image processing, as compared with the related art.

The above is the description of the embodiment shown in FIG.
Although FIG. 5 shows the configuration in which the filter is actually subjected to the zero interpolation process and then the filter is performed, the scan conversion circuit 100 shown in FIG. 1 can also realize the first scan conversion method. That is, in the configuration of FIG. 1, the filter circuit 1 that obtains the output of the phase that matches the scanning line position of the interlaced scanning and the filter circuit 2 that obtains the output of the phase between the scanning lines are operated in parallel. First, the interlaced scanning image signal 50 is input to the filter circuits 1 and 2.

Next, one embodiment of the second scan conversion system of the present invention will be described. Here, as an example, 2 in the horizontal direction
Although the case where the band is divided into a plurality of bands will be described, the same configuration can be made even when there are two or more bands. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of a circuit that implements the scan conversion method.
The interlaced scanning image signal 57 is first divided into two bands in the horizontal direction by the band division circuit 6. Band division may be performed by a known conventional technique. The horizontal low-frequency component is the signal 58, and the high-frequency component is the signal 59, which are input to the scan conversion circuits 7 and 8 and converted into progressive scanning. The scan conversion circuits 7 and 8 may have the same configuration as the scan conversion circuit 100 of FIG. However, only the filter characteristic is set so that the pass band of the filter of the scan conversion circuit 7 is narrower than the pass band of the filter of the scan conversion circuit 8. By doing so, it becomes possible to remove the distortion component in the horizontal low-frequency component where interference is easily noticeable and improve the sharpness in the horizontal high-frequency component.

Next, an embodiment of the third scan conversion system of the present invention will be described. Here, as an example, a case is described in which progressive scan conversion at the time of moving image is realized by the first scan conversion method described in FIG. 1, but it may be realized by the second scan conversion method. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the basic configuration of a circuit that implements the scan conversion method. The interlaced-scan image signal 89 is input to the scan conversion circuits 21 and 22 and the motion detection circuit 23. In the scan conversion circuit 21,
With the same configuration as the scan conversion circuit 100 of FIG. 1, the progressive scan signal 85 for moving images is generated. The scan conversion circuit 22 has the same circuit configuration as that of the conventional technique described with reference to FIG. 8 except for the filter circuit 14, and the function of the filter circuit 14 is changed to one in which scanning is sequentially performed by inserting a pixel value of one field before. Then, the sequential scanning signal 86 for the still image is generated. In the motion detection circuit 23, the absolute value of one frame difference is used as the motion amount signal 8
Output as 7. In the mixing circuit 24, the moving image sequential scanning signal 85 and the still image progressive scanning signal 86 are mixed by the motion amount signal 87, and the sequential scanning signal 88 is output. By doing so, the image quality of a still image is improved as compared with the first or second scan conversion method. However, the image quality difference between a still image and a moving image is smaller than that in the conventional technique.
