De-interlacing video images using patch-based processing

摘要

The present invention is a method and apparatus for de-interlacing image data in a memory. A read interface circuit is coupled to the memory to transfer a patch of the image data from the memory to a buffer. A de-interlacing circuit is coupled to the read interface circuit to de-interlace the image data in the patch from the buffer. A receive circuit is coupled to the de-interlacing circuit to re-organize the de-interlaced image data.
