Abstract
Noise reduction on a video signal is achieved by an adaptive filter system which is capable of automatic changes in filter parameters. This inventive concept includes an automatic method of independently changing both the width and center frequency of the teeth of a comb type bandpass envelope of the filter, as well as adjusting the amplitude response of the filter, independent of the bandpass characteristics, in order to closely match the filter bandpass response to the power spectrum of the video signal being processed, thus rejecting noise in those portions of the spectrum not being used by the video signal. The filter system herein disclosed also provides an adaptive spatial processing of the video signal thus further improving said signal by enhancing detail in the image and by smoothing low amplitude noise in relatively detail free areas of the picture.
