ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for concealing errors in a digital television signal comprises delay elements for deriving a current sample value and a first group of the sample values spatially closest to the current sample value in the same frame of the television signal and delay elements for deriving from the preceding frame of the television signal a delayed sample value corresponding in position to the current sample value and a second group of sample values respectively corresponding in position to the sample values. The current sample value and the delayed sample value are checked for error, and subtractors check pairs of sample values corresponding in position in the current and preceding frames of the television signal for error, derive a measure of the difference in the levels of the sample values in each pair, and combine the results of these checks to provide an output signal which is a measure of the number of the errors and of the sum of the differences. A threshold device checks the output signal against a predetermined threshold level corresponding to an acceptably small number of errors and a relative low degree of movement in the part of a television picture corresponding to the groups of sample values, and a selector is operative, if the sample value is in error, the delayed sample value in not in error, and the output signal is below the predetermined level, to replace the current sample value by the delayed sample value for supply to an output, and, in all other cases, to supply the current sample value to the output.
