Invertible deinterlacing with variable coefficients is proposed to suppress comb-tooth artifacts caused by field interleaving of interlaced scanning video. A vertical highpass filter is applied to detect moving artifacts around boundaries of moving objects. The coefficients of a deinterlacing filter is varied depending on the motion intensity so that the deinterlacing filter may be matched to the local characteristics of moving pictures. Note that the deinterlacing filter is motion-adaptive and is time/translation-varying, while the deinterlacing is still kept to be invertible. The deinterlacing filter performance and its contribution to intraframe-based video coding are evaluated. In addition, since the processing of motion detection and a part of deinterlacing filtering can be shared, their efficient implementation is derived in the form of lifting popular in wavelets.
