The procedure is insensitive to ghosts and other horizontal processing and can be applied to composite signals prior to operations such as ghost removal, separation of chrominance and luminance, motion estimation, and scan conversion; thereby, these latter algorithms as well as the image viewing quality are enhanced by burst error correction. Redundant lines, transmitted during vertical retrace, are added to each field in a TV signal. As few as two lines need be added, amounting to -76% redundancy, and they can be computed by the addition and subtraction of field lines, a special case of vertical (comb) filtering. The predicted performance in the presence of background as well as impulse noise is good and is verified by computations on NTSC fields, performed on SUN workstations.","PeriodicalId":318331,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1990 International Conference on Consumer Electronics","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125387262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result of a subjective estimation of interference to conventional NTSC TV sets, it is shown that there is no need for a guard band between NTSC- and QAM-based TV channels. The system is capable of transmitting PCM (pulse-code-modulated) stereo sound. 320-kHz, 16 bit/sample data are efficiently band-compressed into about 250 kb/s using subband coding, and transmitted during some parts of the vertical blanking and vertical overscanning periods through the QAM channel. >","PeriodicalId":318331,"journal":{"name":"IEEE 1990 International Conference on Consumer Electronics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126016135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
