Digital composite color video signal separating circuit with vertical correlation weighting function

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A first delay circuit delays a digital composite color video signal by a one-scanning-line time. A second delay circuit delays the output signal of the first delay circuit by the one-scanning-line time. A first correlation detector detects a correlation between the digital composite color video signal and the output signal of the first delay circuit. A second correlation detector detects a correlation between output signals of the first and second delay circuits. A coefficient generator generates first and second coefficients corresponding to magnitudes of the correlation-detect outputs of first and second correlation detectors. A first difference-signal detector detects a difference signal …
