Abstract

In this paper, we proposed new de-interlacing algorithm for video data using intensity gradient filter and median filter with texture detection in the image block. We first introduce the texture detection. According to texture detection, the current region is determined into smooth region or texture region. In case that the smooth region interpolated by median filter. In addition, in case of the texture region, we calculate missing pixel value using intensity gradient filter. Therefore, we analyze the local region feature using the texture detection and classify each missing pixel into two categories. And then, based on the classification result, a different de-interlacing algorithm is activated in order to obtain the best performance. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs well with a variety of moving sequences compared with conventional intra-field method in the literature.

본 논문에서는 텍스쳐 감지를 이용한 화소값 기울기 필터 및 중간값 필터 기반의 비디오 시퀀스 디인터레이싱 알고리듬을 제안한다. 먼저 보간 할 픽셀의 주변 픽셀들을 이용하여 현재 보간 할 영역이 텍스쳐가 존재하는 영역인지 아니면 평탄한 영역인지를 판단한다. 제안하는 알고리듬에서는 보간 할 영역이 평탄한 영역으로 판단되면 중간값 필터를 이용하여 보간을 하고, 텍스쳐 영역으로 판단되면 화소값 기울기 필터를 이용하여 보간을 하게 된다. 그러므로 현재의 보간 할 영역은 두 개의 카테고리로 분류 할 수 있다. 제안하는 알고리듬은 상황에 맞게 적응적으로 보간을 수행하므로 좀 더 선명하고 정확한 영상을 얻을 수 있다. 그리고 여러 가지 CIF 동영상에 대한 실험 결과는 제안하는 알고리듬이 기존의 알고리듬 보다 객관적, 주관적으로 우수함을 보여준다.
