A software approach to high-quality video format conversion

Video format conversion is required if the received video format mismatches the display format (spatially and/or temporally). In addition, temporal format conversion can successfully be used to eliminate movie judder (2:2 and 3:2 pull down) and generate a smooth motion portrayal. In This work, we present a novel architecture and the associated algorithms which provide high-quality video format conversion. The architecture and its representative algorithms are to a large extent based on a software approach.
