ABSTRACT:
In video signal processing, diagonal lines or slopes are detected in the input material, and an adaptive spatial filter having positive, negative and linear filter apertures is employed. The positive filter aperture is employed upon detection of any positive slopes in excess of a defined positive threshold; the negative filter upon detection of negative slopes, and the linear filter otherwise.
