Motion vectors pointing from the first delayed frame to the current frame are found by evaluating different test interpolation data against the actual data of the first delayed frame. These motion vectors are converted to pairs of motion vectors pointing from the first delayed frame and the current frame to the interpolated frame, and these pairs of motion vectors are used to generate accurate data for the interpolated frame from the data of the first delayed frame and the current frame. | 12-08-2011 |
20120008689 | FRAME INTERPOLATION DEVICE AND METHOD - To interpolate a frame between two frames of a video signal, sets of reference images are generated, each set having a different resolution level. Motion between the two frames is estimated at each resolution level by using these sets of reference images. For each pixel processed at each resolution level, multiple motion vector candidates are obtained. Information indicating the multiple motion vector candidates is used to select motion search ranges at the next higher resolution level. To determine the motion search range for a pixel, selected motion vector candidates pertaining both to the pixel itself and to its neighboring pixels are used. An interpolated frame of high image quality is thereby obtainable without increased computation and with reduced risk of major image defects due to erroneous motion estimation. | 01-12-2012 |
