Abstract
In this paper, a new frame rate up conversion (FRUC) algorithm using adaptive motion estimation (AME-FRUC) is proposed. The proposed algorithm performs extended bilateral motion estimation (EBME) conducts motion estimation (ME) processes on the static region, and extract region of interest with the motion vector (MV). In the region of interest block, the proposed AME-FRUC uses the texture block partitioning scheme and the unilateral motion estimation for improving ME accuracy. Finally, motion compensated frame interpolation (MCFI) are adopted to interpolate the intermediate frame in which MCFI is employed adaptively based on ME scheme. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the PSNR up to 3dB, the SSIM up to 0.07 and 68% lower SAD calculations compared to the EBME and the conventional FRUC algorithms.
