Adaptive spatio-temporal deinterlacting algorithm based on bi-directional motion compensation
Sung‐Gyu Lee, Dongho Lee · Journal of the Institute of Electronics Engineers of Korea · 2002
In this paper, we propose a motion-adaptive de-interlacing method using motion compensated interpolation. In a conventional motion compensated method, a simple pre-filter such as line averaging is applied to interpolate missing lines before the motion estimation. However, this method causes interpolation error because of inaccurate motion estimation and compensation. In the proposed method, EBMF(Edge Based Median Filter) as a pre-filter is applied, and new matching method, which uses two same-parity fields and opposite-parity field as references, is proposed. For further improvement, motion correction filter is proposed to reduce the interpolation error caused by incorrect motion. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides better performance than existing methods.
