Abstract
In a method of reducing the noise in a signal from a motion detector for video signals, in which a part of the amplitude range of the signal below a threshold value is suppressed, the minimum of the signal is determined by means of a control loop, starting with a minimum threshold value. The threshold value is increased when the minimum of the signal exceeds a given value, preferably 0, and is reduced when the minimum of the signal lies below the given value.
