De-interlacing: A Key Technology for Scan Rate Conversion

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Book for de-interlacing
Review: This is a great book that you must have if you are interested in post video processing. or research in digital video processing. It describes the both approaches from non-motion compensation and motion compensation deinterlacing in depth and details. There are a lot of comparisons with other algorithms. The best part yet is the 3-D recursive search block matcher which checks the neighboring blocks in quarter pel resolution for 3 fields and the majority selection for different de-interlacing algorithms. If you have some algorithms for de-interlacing, you can apply the concept for majority selection in terms of performance and quality selection. The research on de-interlacing work is from Philips Research lab. Some works of de-interlacing have been implementated on Trimedia chip with enhancements in both hardware and software
