It was circular because it relied on the same term in your response that
you were asked to explain.


No it didn't.

Yes it did!


No it didn't.

The fact is that you can't explain how these are recognised at all, let
alone in any consistent and reliable manner in any reasonable
computational power.


I've already explained how they're recognised. It's a very simple job to
recognise them.

I doubt that you even understand how image recognition is implemented!


I understand perfectly how image recognition is implemented.


Precisely my point: you DO see them on LCDs and plasma sometimes, hence
the thread and the question of how detection of interlaced material is
achieved! Where else do you think people would have become so familiar
with the effect if not on a progressive display panel fed with
interlaced
video?


If ever you do see them on LCDs and Plasma TVs, it's not because the image
processor hasn't detected them - it's because the set isn't very good at
deinterlacing to remove all of them. This is very rare though.

What rubbish. It certainly isn't rare, which is why everyone has seen
them.


It's not rubbish. It is very rare.


Lest we forget that you didn't even know "mice teeth" were also produced
by
movement in the vertical axis until I corrected you.

You don't, you see missing and duplicated lines.


See, this is just plain wrong


No it isn't, you need motion with a horizontal component of any image
content to produce mice teeth.


No you don't. That is just plain wrong.



The "mice teeth" effect never varies


Yes they do. Slow movement produces very little difference between the
interlaced fields, resulting in small "mice teeth", whilst fast movement
creates a large difference and hence large "mice teeth". In extremis, no
image motion at all results in NO mice teeth at all. The amount of image
motion is clearly re;ated to the amount of mice teeth, hence it is NOT a
consistent effect.


The characteristics of the actual "tearing" aka the "mice teeth" never
change. None of the things you've listed are relevant to this. The effect is
unique, and it's either present or it's not.


Nope, my method happens.


Only in your dreams!


No, it happens in reality.


Otherwise, we await the URL & citation - its quite simple to prove your
claim if you have any credibility.

So answer the question!


I've answered the question perfectly. Go educate yourself about the basics
before re-reading my posts.

I have re-read most of your rubbish several times to see if you answered
the question and I missed it in the rest of your dross. I didn't, you
haven't and you certainly haven't said anything that suggests I have
anything to learn from you.


What I've said is neither dross nor rubbish. You just haven't got a clue
what you're talking about.


You are clearly just an immature troll, as someone suggested earlier in
the thread.


You're clearly just a clueless sad case who can't stand being humiliated in
front of his imaginary audience of Kennedy McEwen fans, hence your desperate
cover-up attempt.

When you say "switch it through to the display", though, surely that's a

No, it would have to be a parallel operation.


Surely, either:

each pixel in the display corresponds to a RAM location

or

the pixels are individually refreshed, relying on some inherent memory
property of the display (I don't think this is the case).

In either case, they _can't_ all be written at once. Even for a binary
(black or white only) display, that would require as many wires to the
display (or RAM chip) as there are pixels - i. e. over a million for a
reasonably HD display. This is not the case!

Thus some sort of sequential refresh _must_ be going on.

- i. e. all the pixels must update one at a time,
however fast; as such, I can't see why it needs to be rushed, why not
just update them at the same rate the information comes in (with
processing delay).


There'd be little or no point in buffering at all in that case, you'd
just update the screen sequentially directly from the signal.

That, indeed, was what I was thinking.

I wonder if it would be easier to see/show the artifacts with a proper
test DVD. I found a free one here -

http://www.burosch.de/shop/shop_content.php?coID=119

It's just a normal ISO despite being .ndm

Looking on my PC the pendulum and text tests look perfect for testing
for de-interlacing.

Reading a doc about my graphics card I notice that it uses a xillion
chip (as used in STBs etc.) and that it filters horizontal lines for
interlaced outputs to avoid flicker - I wonder whether other digital
boxes do similar things and if the composite source for your test may
have already been modified. This is the doc for Ref.

http://ati.amd.com/technology/avivo/...r_v2_final.pdf


I did a bit more searching around and found another spec sheet, this
time from broadcom that mentions motion adaptive per pixel deinterlacing .
http://www.broadcom.com/collateral/pb/3551-PB02-R.pdf

As for how they do it there are quite a lot of hits on google scholar
for motion adaptive interlac some link to full pdfs, but most are just
citations.

It seems like the newest TVs are going beyond de-interlacing to
interpolating full frames - This presentation does say how it's done
sort of - phase plane correlation.

But it's a DVD, which are usually, though they don't have to be,

The question is how exactly that works. Note from the description of
data transfer further on that as each pixel's data is fed bit
sequentially sometimes down different wires, it *has* to store
*something*! The question is: how much? Does it store until each
pixel is complete, and then latch it through, or until each line is
complete and latch that through, which I suppose must be another
possibility, or until each vertical field is complete, and latch
through, or until each frame is complete, and latch through?

Note another aspect of these specs which I first noticed in the first
link from Andy. IIRC, most of the TVs mentioned there had a response
time of 4ms, but I noticed one of 12ms - not one to buy! This
particular randomly chosen panel has a total of 8ms rise and fall,
which to me seems rather slow for HD. If KM's explanation of all my
photos is really the correct one, then response time's a much more
convincing explanation of why than arguing probabilities.

There'd be little or no point in buffering at all in that case, you'd

The point you're arguing about is so ridiculously simplistic and elementary,
that there should be absolutely no need to cite anything. As I said
previously, I'm not here to spoonfeed you in the basics of LCD TV image
processing.

Thanks (-:.

BUT: even if the drive circuitry is part of the panel, there still
aren't a million wires between that circuitry and the panel!

The question is how exactly that works. Note from the description of
data transfer further on that as each pixel's data is fed bit
sequentially sometimes down different wires, it *has* to store


What do you mean by "it": the actual pixel?

*something*! The question is: how much? Does it store until each
pixel is complete, and then latch it through, or until each line is
complete and latch that through, which I suppose must be another
possibility, or until each vertical field is complete, and latch
through, or until each frame is complete, and latch through?


From that, I think you must mean "the drive circuitry" when you say
"it".

But you're just moving the question along one stage, from the RAM (if
any) in the image processing circuitry to the "drive circuitry" (the "X
driver" and the "Y driver" devices). There is still no way - talking
about the actual matrix of pixels now - that a complete frame could be
"latched through" at once: at most one line (or column) could be written
at once.

Note another aspect of these specs which I first noticed in the first
link from Andy. IIRC, most of the TVs mentioned there had a response
time of 4ms, but I noticed one of 12ms - not one to buy! This


Depends what is meant by the 12 ms. If it's something like time to drop
to 10% brightness from full (or come up to 90% from black), then I'd
agree it is probably not good for something that refreshes individual
pixels at 100 Hz (10 ms), and _arguably_ not for 50 Hz (20 ms) since
even 10% might still be visible. For 25 Hz individual pixel refresh -
which is what you get in SD interlaced video - I'd say it was probably
OK. (Certainly not good for a computer display with 70-100 Hz frame
rate.)

particular randomly chosen panel has a total of 8ms rise and fall,
which to me seems rather slow for HD. If KM's explanation of all my


Well, whether it's HD or not doesn't _intrinsically_ link to the
response time, though since HD often _does_ have the potential for 50Hz
(or higher) non-interlaced refresh (given suitable source material),
it'd be best to avoid a 12 ms panel.

photos is really the correct one, then response time's a much more
convincing explanation of why than arguing probabilities.

There'd be little or no point in buffering at all in that case, you'd

Indeed. I can see little point in deinterlacing - for an interlaced
source, I mean - for a display type where the actual light source does
not flicker, which it doesn't (at anything related to the refresh rate,
anyway) in the case of an LCD with a backlight. (Interesting thought - I
suppose in that respect, _plasma_ displays _are_ more like an old CRT. I
think.)
