ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for processing fields of a video signal that are to be combined into a frame, compressed and communicated over a digital communications system. The processing technique increases the spatial correlation between pixels at a cost of slightly reduced resolution in areas of the frame where there is movement. The method employs a motion detector to separate moving and non-moving areas of the frame. A simple combination of lines from a first field and a second field can be used in static areas. In moving areas, a digital filter is applied to the fields to increase correlation in the resulting field. A digital compression technique such as vector quantization is applied to the resulting frame-based signal.
