Device for reducing noise and cross-colour in television signals

Abstract

Abstract For simultaneously reducing noise and cross-colour in television signals, it is proposed on the basis of a method for noise reduction with the aid of recursive digital filters to use an adaptive recursive signal filtering in which the filter coefficients (KC) for filtering the chrominance signals (IB, IR) are not derived from the signals themselves but from the luminance signal (IL). In this manner, only one change detector (BD) is now required for all three signals (IL, IB, IR) which is followed by an evaluating circuit (AS) for adjusting the chrominance filter coefficients (KC). <IMAGE>
