Abstract From the Canadian patent

The present invention relates to a filter for separating luminance and color signals from a composite color television signal in which the frequency of the color signal is multiplexed over the high-frequency region of the luminance signal. When a picture is detected with respect to its motion under frame correlatlon and if that motion is relatively small, the separation of luminance and color signals is performed based on the interframe correlation. If the motion is relatively large, the separation of luminance and color signals is made based on the interfield correlation. The luminance and color signal separation based on the interfield correlation is attained from a correlation with …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed March 27, 1991 and granted February 20, 1996. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 27, 2011.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 27, 2013.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
