Abstract

Abstract A signal processor circuit is provided in which a pair of luminance signals (OUT1, OUT2) which phases differ spatially by one horizontal line against each other are formed on the basis of output signals of a charge-coupled device imager (1) which delivers and simultaneoulsy outputs independent signals from its all picture elements.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 51 words
A signal processor circuit wherein a pair of luminance signals which phases differ spatially by one horizontal line against each other are formed on the basis of output signals of a charge-coupled device imager (1) which delivers and simultaneously outputs independent signals (OUT 1, OUT 2) from its all picture elements.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 32 words
The signal processor circuit according to claim 1, wherein a plurality of horizontal registers (3, 5) are provided for obtaining independent signals from all picture elements of the charge-coupled device imager (1).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 40 words
The signal processor circuit according to claim 2, wherein the output signals of said plurality of horizontal registers (3, 5) are applied directly and through a delay circuit (10, 40) having a predetermined delay time to a simultaneous circuit (20).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
The signal processor circuit according to claim 3, wherein the number of said horizontal registers (3, 5) is two.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 22 words
The signal processor circuit according to claim 3, wherein said predetermined delay time equals to one horizontal scanning period of an image.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 40 words
The signal processor circuit according to claim 3, wherein said simultaneous circuit (20) forms the pair of luminance signals on the basis of output signals of said charge-coupled device imager corresponding to six hori zontal scanning lines of an image.
