| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7336302 | Frame memory device and method with subsampling and read-out of stored signals at lower resolution than that of received image signals A frame memory device is employed in a digital camera, for example, to output raster-scanned digital color image signals at lower resolution than that of original image signals. The order of sequentially received original raster-scanned digital color image signals i... | 02/26/2008 |
| 7184093 | Video image formatting technique The formatting of a video image frame (10) having a first aspect ratio to yield an image frame having a different aspect ratio is facilitated by establishing a pan and scan pixel coordinate (P) within the image that defines an image capture window for formatt... | 02/27/2007 |
| 7046306 | Processing a video signal using motion estimation to separate luminance information from chrominance information in the video signal In one embodiment, a method for processing a video signal includes: (1) receiving and storing luminance and chrominance information for each pixel in a first portion of the signal; (2) receiving luminance and chrominance information for each pixel in a second portio... | 05/16/2006 |
| 6956625 | Image processing apparatus and method for realizing panorama/waterglass functions An image processing apparatus and method for realizing panorama/waterglass functions, which are capable of reducing the size of a memory and simplifying memory control, are provided. In order to write a plurality of consecutive pixel data into memory devices, and si... | 10/18/2005 |
| 6947060 | Image forming apparatus, electron beam apparatus, modulation circuit, and image-forming apparatus driving method An image forming apparatus which performs pulsewidth modulation with a pulsewidth set by counting a clock. Especially, for grayscale level correction by setting the frequency of the clock, the periodic clock is counted, and an output pattern is changed in accordance... | 09/20/2005 |
| 6788311 | Displaying data on lower resolution displays Data intended to be displayed on a higher resolution display such as a non-interlaced display used as a computer monitor may be converted for display on a lower resolution display such as an interlaced display. The conversion may be done in a way that preserves the ... | 09/07/2004 |
| 6580461 | Line-quadrupler in home theater uses line-doubler of AV-part and scaler in graphics controller of PC-part A home theater comprises a video processing sub-system and a PC capable of controlling the sub-system. The sub-system has a de-interlacer/line doubler and the PC has a graphics controller with scaling capability. The combination of the line doubler and th... | 06/17/2003 |

The sub-system has a de-interlacer/line doubler and the PC has a graphics controller with scaling capability. The combination of the line doubler and th... | 08/20/2002 |
| 6226040 | Apparatus for converting video signal Apparatus for generating at least a selected area in a picture is disclosed herein. The picture and the selected area are displayed on a video display means, and the user can optionally adjust the position and size of the selected area. The apparatus incl... | 05/01/2001 |
| 5745186 | Video signal processing circuit for reducing a video signal A 4:4:4 component video signal comprising a luminance signal Y and color-difference signals Cb and Cr is transformed to a 4:1:1 component coded video signal coded by a coding device, reducing processing is carried out after transformation and the result i... | 04/28/1998 |
| 5703659 | Method of reducing and magnifying picture size of a video composite signal A method is provided for reducing or magnifying the picture size of a video composite signal with the use of fewer memories than a conventional video composite signal processor which processes pixel data after being converted into R, G, B signals. A video... | 12/30/1997 |
| 5668604 | Horizontal magnifying circuit for video signals In a structure composed having a one-bit counter, a D-FF, a selector, and an AND gate, while the signal level of a thin-out signal is low, a read clock signal of a line memory is thinned out. Thus, video signals (a Y signal, a CR signal, and a CB signal) ... | 09/16/1997 |
| 4814860 | Television picture zoom system having chroma phase restoration circuit In a TV receiver having a zoom system, the chroma signal is vertically and horizontally expanded by repeating the successive lines and pixels. The polarity of the vertically and horizontally chroma signal is selectively inverted in a manner restoring the ... | 03/21/1989 |
| 4703341 | Television having luma/chroma separation apparatus A frame comb filter includes a pair of serially-connected field memories. In the normal display mode, the first field memory stores one field of incoming composite video signal CVS and provides a field delayed video signal FDS. The second field memory sto... | 10/27/1987 |
