Abstract

We present a new method for the motion detection/compensation between opposite parity fields in interlaced video sequences. We introduce a phase-correction filter, which is applied to one type (even or odd) of fields before motion detection/compensation. By means of this phase-correction filter, the motion-compensated PSNR has been improved by more than 2 dB, on average. We also present a new deinterlacing algorithm based on the newly developed motion detection/compensation. This algorithm requires storing one field only, and the phase-corrected field is used for both motion detection/compensation and intrafield deinterlacing, thus making the proposed algorithm computationally very efficient. Excellent deinterlacing results have been obtained
