Abstract:
A video data processing apparatus for removing a repeat field from video data, comprising:repeat field detecting means for detecting the repeat field contained in the video data; analyzing means for analyzing a pattern of the repeat field contained in the video data corresponding to the detected results of said repeat field detecting means and determining whether the pattern of the repeat field is continuous or discontinuous; video data processing means for removing the repeat field contained in the video data; and controlling means for controlling said video data processing means to remove a field determined as a repeat field by said repeat field detecting means from the video data in a period that the patten of the repeat field is determined continuous by said analyzing means and for controlling said video data processing means not to remove a field determined as a repeat field by said repeat field detecting means from the video data in a period that the pattern of the repeat field is determined discontinuous by said analyzing means.
