Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a device for displaying images. It is known to inlay a pattern of watermark type into the sequence of images to be displayed so as to combat the copying of images by picture-taking. This inlaying consists in modulating the intensity of the pixels of the pattern about the value to be displayed at a high frequency which renders the pattern invisible to the human eye but which generates artefacts on the sequence filmed by the camcorder. This technique poses problems when the sequence of images to be displayed comprises scenes in motion. The pattern appears since the integration carried out by the eye at the moment of display of the images is not correct. According to the invention, it is proposed that the patterns to be inlayed be motion compensated.
