The various embodiments described herein provide systems, devices and/or processes to improve the deinterlacing of interlaced video content. Specifically, the various embodiments described herein facilitate the deinterlacing of video content by using both intraframe and interframe pixel prediction values to generate replacement pixel values to be used in the resulting progressive scan video. Specifically, the embodiments described herein generate both intraframe pixel prediction values and intraframe pixel prediction values for each pixel in the interlaced video that is to be replaced. The intraframe pixel prediction values and intraframe pixel prediction values are then blended together to generate the replacement pixel values that are used in the progressive scan video. In one embodiment, the blending of intraframe pixel prediction values and intraframe pixel prediction values is based at least in part by estimations of motion in the video about the pixel being replaced.
An automated process for converting an interlaced video to a progressive scan video, the automated process comprising:
An automated process comprising:
A streaming server in electronic communication with a playback device, the streaming server comprising a processor and a non-transitory memory configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the streaming server to perform operations, the operations comprising:
