Abstract

A video input signal is vertically interpolated and applied along with a field delayed and a field advanced video signal to respective inputs of a first median filter the output of which is applied along with a line delayed and a line advanced signal to respective inputs of a second median filter to provide an interpolated video output signal. The resultant double median filtered signal and a field delayed signal are applied via respective time compressors to a multiplex switch to provide an output signal of progressive scan form and in which every other line thereof is interpolated by double median filtering.
