An intrafield deinterlacing algorithm based on gradient-regularized modular neural networks is proposed. The proposed method defines six gradient regularization terms for every missing pixel. Different modular neural networks are selectively used according to the gradient of the pixel to be interpolated. With the statistics of the six gradient regularization terms, a more robust output is generated by modular neural networks. When compared with existing deinterlacing algorithms, the proposed algorithm improves the peak signal-to-noise-ratio while achieving better subjective quality.
