Abstract
When a cinema being composed of 24 frames/sec is converted to NTSC video or TV program, several fields we repeated to have 60 fields/sec, which is called the telecine or 3:2 pull-down. Hence, when encoding the telecine NTSC video into MPEG format, if we convert it into the original 24 frames/sec Progressive cinema, then we can save 20% of bits compared to the case of encoding all the 60 fields. In this Paper, we propose an algorithm for performing the inverse telecine by using the properties of the frames. Specifically, the algorithm exploits the fact that there Is much Inconsistency between the even and odd fields in the case of telecine frame, which results in high magnitude at the Nyquist frequency In the vertical direction. The experiment shows that the proposed algorithm performs very well regardless of the quality of video with a very few computations, whereas the conventional motion based method requires much computational complexity and its performance is degraded when the video is of low (eg. VHS) quality.
