초록

본 논문에서는 공간적인 디인터레이싱을 위한 컨텐츠 기반 적응적 보간 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 전처리와 컨텐츠 분석, 컨텐츠에 따른 적응적 보간의 3 단계로 구성된다. 또한 적응적 보간 방식으로써 변형된 에지기반 라인 평균 방식과 그레디언트 기반 방향성 보간, 윈도우 매칭 방식의 세 가지 보간 방식을 제안한다. 각각의 보간 방식은 공간적인 영상 특징에 따라 다양한 성능을 나타낸다. 따라서 각각의 보간할 픽셀 영역은 그레디언트 검출을 통해 영역 특징을 분석하고 네 가지 카테고리로 분류된다. 이러한 분류 결과를 기반으로 각각에 적합한 디인터레이싱 방법을 사용함으로써 최적의 성능을 구현할 수 있다. 다양한 영상에 대한 실험을 통해 제안한 방식이 기존의 방식에 비해 가장 좋은 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a content adaptive interpolation (CAI) for intra deinterlacing. The CAI consists of three steps: pre-processing, content classification, and adaptive interpolation. There are also three main interpolation methods in our proposed CAI, i.e. modified edge-based line averaging (M-ELA), gradient directed interpolation (GDI), and window matching method (WMM). Each proposed method shows different performances according to spatial local features. Therefore, we analyze the local region feature using the gradient detection and classify each missing pixel into four categories. And then, based on the classification result, a different do-interlacing algorithm is activated in order to obtain the best performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the CAI method performs better than previous techniques.
