Local picture-repetition mode detector for video de-interlacing

The de-interlacing of video material converted from film can be perfect, provided it is possible to recognize the field-pairs that originate from the same film image. Various so-called film-detectors have been proposed for this purpose, mainly in the patent-literature. Typically, these detectors fai...

Sumario:The de-interlacing of video material converted from film can be perfect, provided it is possible to recognize the field-pairs that originate from the same film image. Various so-called film-detectors have been proposed for this purpose, mainly in the patent-literature. Typically, these detectors fail in cases where video overlays are merged with film material, or when nonstandard repetition patterns are used. Both problems occur frequently in television broadcast. For these hybrid and/or irregular cases, we propose a detector that can detect different picture-repetition patterns locally in the image. This detector combines fuzzy logic rules and spatio-temporal prediction to arrive at a highly robust decision signal, suitable for pixel-accurate de-interlacing of hybrid and irregular video material. In addition to an evaluation of the performance, the paper also provides a complexity analysis.
