ABSTRACT:
Noise in a video picture is sharply reduced using the redundancy of information present in those portions of the picture which remain unchanged through several successive frames. A number of successive frames are compared to determine which portions of the picture are in motion and which are stationary. The moving portions of the image are separated from the stationary portions and are processed in a conventional manner. The stationary portions, however, are combined on a frame-by-frame basis to produce a highly noise-free averaged signal. In color systems, the conventional luminance-chroma separation methods used for the moving portions of the picture are replaced, in the stationary portions, by an opposite-phase frame comparison method which provides 100% separation regardless of the nature of the image.
