METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SPATIO-TEMPORAL DEINTERLACING AIDED BY MOTION COMPENSATION FOR FIELD-BASED VIDEO

摘要

The invention comprises devices and methods for processing multimedia data to generate progressive frame data from interlaced frame data. In one aspect, a method of processing multimedia data includes generating spatio-temporal information for a selected frame of interlaced multimedia data, generating motion information for the selected frame, and deinterlacing fields of the selected frame based on the spatio-temporal information and the motion information to form a progressive frame associated with the selected frame. In another aspect an apparatus for processing multimedia data can include a spatial filter module configured to generate spatio-temporal information of a selected frame of interlaced multimedia data, a motion estimator configured to generate motion information for the selected frame, and a deinterlacer configured to deinterlace fields of the selected frame and form a progressive frame corresponding to the selected frame based on the spatio-temporal information and the motion information.
