本発明は固体撮像素子を使用したテレビカメラ等では常
に発生する垂直スメア現象の補正方式に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for correcting the vertical smear phenomenon that always occurs in television cameras and the like using solid-state image sensors.
CCD、MOSなどに代表される固体撮像素子をテレビ
カメラの光電変換素子に利用したとき、垂直転送部ある

て起こるものではなく、富に外部よりの入射光量に比例
した量で発生している。When a solid-state image sensor such as a CCD or MOS is used as a photoelectric conversion element in a television camera, the charge generated in the vertical transfer section or vertical signal line becomes a false signal, causing a phenomenon that causes flies to be drawn vertically on the screen. It appears. This is the so-called vertical smear phenomenon. Unlike blooming, this phenomenon does not occur when the photoelectric conversion section of each pixel becomes saturated, but rather occurs in an amount proportional to the amount of incident light from the outside.

vした映像信号を得ている。Therefore, as a method to correct this, the vertical invalid period is skipped, the smear Jjk that occurs in that field is detected, this is A/D converted, and then the information in the 11H memory is converted to A/D and the image is converted to an image. By subtracting it from the signal, a video signal with reduced smearing is obtained.

る。In the figure, a video signal from a single camera 1 using a solid-state image sensor is input to a still image transmission device 2, passes through a low-pass filter 3, and then is sampled at, for example, 10 MHz by a clock generator 9. The signal is then A/I converted by the A/D converter 4, and one field is stored in the field memory 5. In the last blank feed part, the random noise component is reduced by the IH signal guard, which contains only the smear component, and the integrating circuit 6, and is amplified.After that, the A/ i) The signal is input to a separately provided IF memory 7 via a converter. Next, at the time when band conversion is performed, the field memory 5 transmits data at a low speed, for example, with a clock pulse of 5 kHz, for each
The γ signal is read out from the field memory 5 and output to the transmission line along with the narrowband video signal via the D/A converter 8. In synchronization with the video signal of each Muni 1)■, the IH memory 7 in which the above-mentioned smear component was stored also outputs (H),
The smear amount is subtracted from the video signal. This operation is repeated for each IH until one field is completed, and an image with reduced vertical smear is finally obtained on the screen.
