Abstract

Systems and methods for detecting chroma dropout errors in one or more fields associated with various video frames are provided. Pixels associated with a current field are divided into a set of pixel pairs. Co-occurrences matrices are calculated for previous and subsequent fields. A first pixel pair associated with the current field is selected. First and second set of entries are selected from the co-occurrence matrices corresponding to the previous and subsequent fields. The first pixel pair is searched in the first and second set of entries. An absence of the first pixel pair in the first and second set of entries satisfies a first criterion of chroma dropout error. Other criteria in addition to the first criterion are evaluated to label the first pixel pair as erroneous.
