Abstract
A motion detection circuit includes series connected delay circuits for obtaining, with respect to a perceived pixel based on a NTSC input signal, a pixel 262 lines preceding the perceived pixel, a pixel 263 lines preceding the perceived pixel, and a pixel one frame preceding the perceived pixel. A first threshold circuit is provided for comparing the amplitude of a first sum, which is the sum of the perceived pixel and the pixel one frame before, with a first threshold. A second threshold circuit is provided for comparing the amplitude of a second sum, which is the sum of the perceived pixel and the pixel 263 lines before, with a second threshold. A third threshold circuit is provided for comparing the amplitude of a third sum, which is the sum of the pixel 262 lines before the perceived pixel and the pixel one frame before the perceived pixel, with a third threshold. A logic circuit is provided for detecting a motion when the first sum is less than the first threshold and, at the same time, when at least one of two conditions is satisfied, the first condition being that the second sum is greater than the second threshold and the second condition being that the third sum is greater then the third threshold.
