Video deinterlacing is a key technique in digital video processing, particularly with the widespread usage of LCD and plasma TVs. This paper proposes a novel spatio-temporal video deinterlacing technique that adaptively chooses between results from segment adaptive gradient angle interpolation (SAGA), vertical temporal filter (VTF) and temporal line averaging (LA). The proposed method performs better than several popular benchmarking methods in terms of both visual quality and PSNR and requires minimal computational overhead. The algorithm performs better than existing approaches on fine moving edges and semi-static regions of videos, which are recognized as particularly challenging deinterlacing cases.
