Solution Overview

Problem

Current motion detection methods for TV signals fail to effectively determine the appropriate Y/C separation method based on motion detection results, leading to inefficiencies in processing composite video signals.

Innovation Solution

A motion detection method utilizing 3D Y/C separation, which focuses on specific blocks in frames to generate reference luminance and chrominance signals, determines the presence of moving objects by analyzing differences in composite signal values and applying threshold values, and identifies grids or cross color effects to confirm object movement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If motion detection is performed without 3D Y/C separation, then processing speed is maintained, but motion detection accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotion detection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The image is divided into multiple blocks, and motion detection is performed on each block separately. This segmentation allows the system to apply 3D Y/C separation only where needed (in blocks containing moving objects) rather than processing the entire image, thus maintaining accuracy while preserving processing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies 3D Y/C separation partially - only to specific blocks that are suspected of containing moving objects, rather than applying it to the entire image. This partial application maintains motion detection accuracy in critical areas while avoiding the processing overhead of applying the technique globally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Measurement precision

If 3D Y/C separation is applied to the entire frame, then motion detection accuracy is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemotion detection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The frame is segmented into multiple blocks, and 3D Y/C separation is applied selectively to individual blocks based on motion detection needs. This reduces the overall processing complexity compared to applying the technique to the entire frame, while maintaining accuracy in regions of interest.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different processing approaches are applied to different blocks based on their local characteristics. Blocks containing moving objects receive 3D Y/C separation processing, while static blocks use simpler processing methods, optimizing the balance between accuracy and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Productivity

If 2D Y/C separation is used, then processing speed is maintained, but separation effectiveness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidseparation effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses 3D Y/C separation (more effective but slower) partially - only for blocks containing moving objects - while using 2D Y/C separation (faster but less effective) for the remaining blocks. This hybrid approach maintains overall processing speed while improving separation effectiveness where it matters most.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically changes the processing parameters (switching between 2D and 3D Y/C separation) based on the detected motion characteristics in each block. This allows the system to adapt the separation effectiveness to the actual content being processed, improving reliability without sacrificing processing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A motion detection method for detecting the difference in colors and an object position between a current frame and a previous frame through processing a composite video signal corresponding to both frames. The method includes: calculating a plurality of composite signal values included in the composite video signal to generate a calculation result; determining whether the calculation result conforms to a requirement to obtain a detecting result; and determining whether the colors and the object position are changed in two frames corresponding to the composite video signal according to the detecting result.
