De-interlacing of video data

Abstract

A new de-interlacing algorithm is proposed, suitable for high-quality flicker-free display of television images, for matrix type of displays, and as a basis for scan-rate conversions. The algorithm applies motion estimation and compensation techniques to achieve a high performance for moving and stationary image parts. This paper provides details of the new algorithm and an evaluation showing the relative performance of the proposal and a set of newly proposed and/or commercially available methods.
