Abstract
In a video signal processing apparatus for restoring a signal which has been bandwidth-compressed by offset sub-sampling after restoring an image from sample points of a same field of a sub-sampled signal, a first adder performs an inter-field averaging process from inter-field signals before or after three adjacent fields. A second adder performs an inter-frame averaging process from inter-frame signals. One field difference and one frame difference are detected from the three adjacent inter-field signals thereby switching an output signal of the first adder and an output signal of the second adder in accordance with the magnitudes of the differences thus detected. In this way, aliasing interferences accompanied with bandwidth compression can be detected. By selecting an optimum eliminating filter, aliasing interference due to interfield sub-sampling and aliasing interference due to inter-frame sub-sampling can be eliminated.
