Abstract

A registration error detection apparatus which includes a circuit that sums up, for a plurality of adjacent pixels, absolute values of differences between a plurality of image component signals which form a same frame of picture, a circuit which detects the registration error based on the minimum value of the output signals provided by the summing circuit, a first evaluating circuit which evaluates the reliability of the detection result of registration error based on the differential signal between an input test signal and an input reference signal, a second evaluating circuit which evaluates the reliability based on differences between the average value of registration error and individual detection results, a third evaluating circuit which calculates the statistic deviation value of the BPF-processed test signal and the reference signal and evaluating the reliability based on the calculation result, and a circuit which makes a final judgement as to whether the detection result is to be accepted or rejected, based on the results of reliability judgement made by the first through third evaluating circuits.
