Improvement of Motion Judder on Converted Images by Telecine at the TV Station

Video images converted from films show unnatural reproduction of movement. To correct this, it is necessary to utilize a motion compensation technique which has already been employed for television standards conversion. We modified an existing high-definition television (HDTV) standards converter[1] by adding the necessary functions for motion-compensated film-to-video conversion. To test the practicality of the modified converter, we detected motion vectors on it by using the video signals of images already converted from film by a telecine. Then we interpolated the images using the detected motion vectors to compensate for movement. The result was less unnatural movement and better quality moving images with respect to film-to-video conversion.
