نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new method for frame rate up-conversion using sub-sampled bilateral motion estimation, motion vector smoothing, simplified bidirectional motion compensated interpolation, and complex motion detection. The proposed method produces improved image quality and requires less computational complexity compared to conventional motion estimation. The average PSNRs of the proposed method for frame rate up-conversion outperform those of the benchmark frame rate up-conversion technique by up to 4.39 dB for the test sequences. Furthermore, the motion estimation of the proposed FRUC method reduces the required computational complexity to 12.5% of that required for full-search block matching motion estimation.

Fast Overlapped Block Motion Estimation for Frame Rate Up Conversion
In this paper, we propose a fast motion estimation algorithm to be used for motion-compensated frame rate up conversion (FRUC). The FRUC techniques are used to enhance the visual quality of the low frame rate video on display. By using the motion vectors obtained from motion estimation process, the new frames can be interpolated. The motion estimation is the key part of the FRUC process but it ...

In this paper, a novel frame rate up conversion (FRUC) using modified adaptive bilateral motion estimation (MAEBME) is proposed. Traditionally, extended bilateral motion estimation (EBME) carries out bilateral motion estimation (BME) twice on the same region, therefore has high complexity. Adaptive extended bilateral motion estimation (AEBME) is proposed to reduce complexity and increase visual...

A frame interpolation algorithm for frame rate up-conversion of progressive image sequences is proposed. The algorithm is based on simple motion compensation and linear interpolation. A motion vector is searched for each pixel in the interpolated image and the resulting motion eld is median ltered to remove inconsistent vectors. Averaging along the motion trajectory is used to produce the inter...

Frame rate up-conversion (FRUC) is a useful technique for a lot of practical applications, such as display format conversion, low bitrate video coding and slow motion playback. Unlike traditional approaches, such as frame repetition or linear frame interpolation, motion-compensated frame interpolation (MCFI) technique which takes block motion into account is regarded as a more efficient scheme....
متن کاملAdaptive search area for fast motion estimation
In this paper a new method for determining the search area for motion estimation algorithm based on block matching is suggested. In the proposed method the search area is adaptively found for each block of a frame. This search area is similar to that of the full search (FS) algorithm but smaller for most blocks of a frame. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is analogous to FS in terms of reg...
