Abstract

Abstract An image shake compensation circuit comprising a motion information detector for detecting motion information based on the occurrence of an image shake when the image shake occurs in an encoded video signal, a shake compensator for obtaining a start display position of an image of a present frame according to the motion information detected by the motion information detector, and a decoder for decoding the encoded video signal, correcting a display position of the image of the present frame in response to an output signal from the shake compensator if the encoded video signal has previously been compensated for the image shake and compensating for the image sake if the encoded video signal has not previously been compensated for the image shake.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim 73 words
An image shake compensation circuit comprising: motion information detection means for detecting motion information in an encoded video signal; shake compensation means for obtaining a start display position of an image of a present frame according to the motion information detected by said motion information detection means; and decoding means for correcting a display position of the image of the present frame in response to an output signal from said shake compensation means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 73 words
An image shake compensation circuit comprising: motion information detection means for detecting motion information in an encoded video signal; shake compensation means for obtaining a start display position of an image of a present frame according to the motion information detected by said motion information detection means; and decoding means for correcting a display position of the image of the present frame in response to an output signal from said shake compensation means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 68 words
An image shake compensation circuit as set forth in claim 1, wherein said shake compensation means is adapted to discriminate a desired value of the motion information from said motion information detection means, to regard the image shake as occurring, if the discriminated value of the motion information is greater than a predetermined value, and to obtain the start display position of said image of the present frame.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 63 words
An image shake compensation circuit as set forth in claim 2, wherein said desired value of the motion information is obtained by arranging motion vectors of the motion information into a plurality of motion vector groups according to values of the motion vectors, and selecting a motion vector value from one of the motion vector groups having the largest number of motion vectors.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 41 words
An image shake compensation circuit as set forth in claim 3, wherein said selected motion vector value is used as said desired value of the motion information, said selected motion vector value having the largest number of motion vectors corresponding thereto.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 48 words
An image shake compensation circuit as set forth in claim 1, wherein said decoding means is adapted to compensate for a motion of said encoded video signal and to compensate for the image shake if said encoded video signal has not been previously compensated for the image shake.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 32 words
An image shake compensation circuit as set forth in claim 1, wherein said shake compensation means includes a register for storing the start display position of the image of the present frame.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 48 words
An image shake compensation circuit as set forth in claim 1, wherein said decoding means decodes the encoded video signal, said image shake compensation circuit further comprising display means for displaying the decoded video signal according to the corrected display position of the image from said decoding means.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 24 words
An image shake compensation circuit as set forth in claim 7, wherein said shake compensation means includes a controller for controlling said display means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 53 words
An image shake compensation circuit as set forth in claim 1, further comprising encoding means for encoding a video signal input thereto to generate the encoded video signal, said encoding means receiving either the video signal which has been previously image-shake compensated or the video signal which has not been previously image-shake compensated.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 28 words
An image shake compensation circuit as set forth in claim 9, further comprising image capturing means for capturing image to output the video signal to said encoding means.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 48 words
An image shake compensation circuit as set forth in claim 9, wherein with the video signal which has not been previously image-shake compensated, said decoding means separates general motion information from the video signal and processes the video signal to compensate for image shake of the video signal.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 85 words
An image shake compensation circuit as set forth in claim 9, wherein with the video signal which has not been previously image-shake compensated, said decoding means includes a variable length decoder for decoding the encoded video signal, an inverse quantizer for inverse-quantizing an output signal of said variable length decoder, and an inverse discrete cosine transform unit connected to said inverse quantizer for generating a displaced frame difference signal, so as to process the video signal to compensate for image shake of the video signal.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 25 words
An image shake compensation circuit as set forth in claim 12, wherein said decoding means includes a frame memory for storing the processed video signal.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 35 words
An image shake compensation circuit as set forth in claim 9, wherein with the video signal which has been previously image-shake compensated, said decoding means performs a general motion compensation function to the video signal.
