Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An NTSC compatible widescreen EDTV system encodes a television signal via a process including intraframe averaging of mutually exclusive successive paired groups of image pixels above a given frequency. At a decoder intraframe averaged luminance image information is interpolated on a line-by-line basis to help reduce unwanted jagged diagonal image artifacts. Vertical peaking is associated with intraframe averaging at the encoder.
