A Picture Format Converter Using Motion Compensated De-Interlacing

Kenji Sugiyama, Neil Neubert

Picture format conversion is an important technology for multi format broadcast. Many interlaced DTV transmissions are likely to be conversions from other interlaced acquisition formats and the main topic of this paper will be conversion from one interlaced picture to another interlaced picture. Practical realization of this conversion is accomplished by dividing the processing into two parts, de-interlacing and line re-sampling. In this structure, suitable de-interlacing can be applied using motion compensation. Further, a new de-interlacing method is described to solve problems introduced by motion compensation.
