Abstract
The invention is directed to a frame rate up conversion (FRUC) system and method. A motion estimation (ME) unit is configured to generate at least one motion vector (MV) according to a frame input. A triple-line buffer based motion compensation (MC) unit is configured to generate an interpolated frame according to the MV, a reference frame and a current frame, thereby generating a frame output with a frame rate higher than a frame rate of the frame input.
Claims20
A frame rate up conversion (FRUC) system, comprising:
- a motion estimation (ME) unit configured to generate at least one motion vector (MV) according to a sequential frame input;
- and
- a triple-line buffer based motion compensation (MC) unit configured to generate an interpolated frame according to the MV, a reference frame and a current frame, thereby generating a frame output with a frame rate higher than a frame rate of the frame input.
A frame rate up conversion (FRUC) method, comprising:
- performing motion estimation (ME) to generate at least one motion vector (MV) according to a sequential frame input;
- and
- performing a triple-line buffer based motion compensation (MC) to generate an interpolated frame according to the MV, a reference frame and a current frame, thereby generating a frame output with a frame rate higher than a frame rate of the frame input.
