Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new deinterlacing method that converts the interlaced images into the progressive images using a field. Firsr of all, it estimates the direction of edge. If it makes an accurate estimate of the direction, then it interpolates a pixel using ELA(Edge-based Line Average). Otherwise, it estimates the new direction of edge, and then,, it interpolates a pixel using a proposed median filter. From simulation results, it is shown that the proposed method improves both subjective and objective image quality as compared with previous deinterlacing methods.

본 논문에서는 하나의 필드만을 사용하여 비월 주사 영상을 순차 주사 영상으로 변환하는 디인터레이싱 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, ELA 기법을 이용하여 에지의 방향성을 예측한다. 에지의 방향성을 정확히 예측하였을 경우에는 ELA(Edge-based Line Average) 기법에 의한 화소를 보간하고 에지의 방향을 잘못 예측하였을 경우에는 다시 새로운 에지의 방향을 결정한다. 결정된 방향에 대하여 화소를 본 논문에서 제안한 중간값 필터(median filter)를 이용하여 보간한다. 모의실험 결과 기존의 비인터레이싱 방법에 비해 주관적 및 객관적 화질이 개선됨을 보인다.
