Abstract
The invention generally provides a method and apparatus for up-converting the frame rate of a digital video signal, the method comprising: receiving a digital video signal containing a first frame and a second frame; finding in one of the received frames, matches for objects in the other of the received frames; utilising 3 dimensional position data in respect of the objects within the frames to determine 3 dimensional movement matrices for the matched objects; using the 3 dimensional movement matrices, determining the position of the objects in a temporally intermediate frame and thereby generating an interpolated frame, temporally between the first and second frame.
Claims24
A method of up-converting the frame rate of a digital video signal, the method comprising:
- receiving a digital video signal containing a first frame and a second frame;
- finding in one of the received frames, matches for objects in the other of the received frames;
- utilising 3D data in respect of the objects within the frames to determine 3 dimensional movement matrices for the matched objects;
- using the 3D movement matrices, determining the position of the objects in a temporally intermediate frame to enable the generation of an interpolated frame, temporally between the first and second frame.
