Content-adaptive frame-rate upconversion for video coding

A device for upconverting video data, the device comprising:

• a memory configured to store video data;
• and
• a processing system comprising one or more processors implemented in circuitry, the processing system being configured to:
• determine an amount of motion between a region of a first frame of the video data and a corresponding region of a second frame of the video data;
• determine a number of frames to interpolate between the first frame and the second frame according to the amount of motion;
• and
• interpolate the determined number of frames to upconvert the video data.

A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed, cause a processing system to:

• determine an amount of motion between a region of a first frame of video data and a corresponding region of a second frame of the video data;
• determine a number of frames to interpolate between the first frame and the second frame according to the amount of motion;
• and
• interpolate the determined number of frames to upconvert the video data.

A device for upconverting video data, the device comprising:

• means for determining an amount of motion between a region of a first frame of video data and a corresponding region of a second frame of the video data;
• means for determining a number of frames to interpolate between the first frame and the second frame according to the amount of motion;
• and
• means for interpolating the determined number of frames to upconvert the video data.
