Figure 20
Block diagram of letter box detection
Each line of the input picture will be assigned to one of three line types (LT) by the
“Histogram” and “Line Type decision” block. The figure below shows in detail the
functionality of both blocks. The “Histogram” block counts the amount of pixels (BC),
which are larger or equal 2*TH_DN_BN (I²C Bus parameter, 1Ch). Depending on the
counter value the line is assigned to one of the three line types by the “Line Type
Decision” block. The I²C parameter TH_AA and TH_LB can be used to influence the
result of the “Line Type Decision” block.

Line Type Decision of LBD
The line type AA marks lines which belong to an active area, the line type LB marks lines
which belong to a letter box area (maybe including logos, subtitles) and the line type UNS
marks lines which could not assigned with security to one of both line types mentioned
before.
