Fuzzy Motion-Adaptive Interpolation With Picture Repetition Detection for Deinterlacing

A novel fuzzy motion-adaptive deinterlacing algorithm is presented in this paper. It uses fuzzy logic to interpolate between two processing modes, i.e., a spatial (
IS
) and a temporal (
IT
) interpolator. Furthermore, the temporal interpolator employs a very simple fuzzy inference system to implement a smart temporal interpolation that locally adapts to the features of the television (TV) material, such as possible picture repetition modes in the fields or in part of the fields (hybrid material). The combination of both systems provides effective results with a low cost in terms of computational resources.
