Abstract
The television receiver displays the picture information of an interlaced signal, such as a baseband NTSC signal, in a non-interlaced scanning format. The NTSC signal is comb filtered in a line comb filter to extract a luminance representative component signal. When no motion occurs in the picture scene, vertical detail is added and substracted, respectively, from the luminance representative component signal to form first and second enhanced luminance signals, respectively. During each horizontal line interval of the NTSC signal, the corresponding portions of the first and the second signals contain luminance information capable of being displayed in consecutive non-interlaced scan lines, respectively, of the interlaced display. When motion is detected, vertical detail enhancement is diminished so that artifacts that may be more pronounced in the presence of motion, become less visible.
