US Patent 7269220 Adaptive motion detection and control

A motion detector (300) detects motion of images represented by video pixels by providing a memory (19) arranged to store first pixels processed during a first time period. The motion detector (300) responds to differences between the first pixels and second pixels processed during a second time period after the first time period to generate initial motion signals. A look up table (362) and an edge detector (364) modify the initial motion signals to generate the output motion signals.
