Time stamp recovery and frame interpolation for frame rate source

A method of performing motion vector correction in a sequence of video frames, comprising:

• receiving, at a processor, a sequence of video frames at a received rate lower than an original frame rate, the sequence of video frames having fewer frames than an original sequence of video frames;
• identifying motion vectors for frames in the sequence of video frames;
• identifying a high-low pattern of motion vector magnitudes over a period of time;
• determining a location of dropped frames from the original sequence of video frames based on the high-low pattern;
• generating frame interpolation phases based on the high-low pattern;
• adjusting magnitudes of the motion vectors based on the high-low pattern to determine motion vectors for each of the frame interpolation phases;
• and
• interpolating a new frame of video data at each of the frame interpolation phases.
