VIDEO SIGNAL PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, DISPLAY APPARATUS, AND VIDEO SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

A video signal processing apparatus includes: a level detection unit configured to detect a level of a high-frequency component extracted from an input video signal to determine whether or not the detected level is in excess of a preset predetermined threshold value; and a signal output unit configured to output, as a color video signal, an input video signal in a section in which the level of the high-frequency component has been determined by the level detection unit to be in excess of the predetermined threshold value and, as a monochromatic video signal, an input video signal in a section in which the level of the high-frequency component has been determined to be lower than the predetermined threshold value.
