디인터레이싱 방법은 크게 화면 간(Inter - Field) 디인터레이싱과 화면 내(Intra - Field) 디인터레이싱이 있고 화면 내 디인터레이싱 방법 중에는 대표적으로 라인카피와 라인별 평균값을 취하는 선형적인 방법, ELA 그리고 E-ELA 알고리즘 등이 있다. 기존 방식 중 선형적 보간법은 에지 블러링이나 계단현상이 발생하고 ELA, E-ELA알고리즘을 이용한 방법은 특정방향에지 정보가 없어 이미지에서 다양한 형태의 에지 부분의 디인터레이싱에 있어 성능이 좋지 못한 단점이 있다. 본 논문은 한 개의 필드를 사용하는 화면 내(Intra - Field) 디인터레이싱 방법을 사용하고 7방향의 에지 방향 보간법과 수평방향의 에지 라인을 고려하여 기존 방식에서 나타나던 오브젝트의 계단현상을 최대한 줄여줌으로써 향상된 화질을 보이는 디인터레이싱 알고리즘을 제안한다.

비월주사(interlaced)에서 순차주사(progressive)로의 변환을 디인터레이싱(de-interlacing)이라 한다. 제안하는 방식은 움직임 검출을 통해 움직임이 없는 영역에서는 앞선 필드정보를 이용하여 별도의 계산량 없이 디인터레이싱을 하게 되며, 움직임이 있는 영역에서는 공간정보(spatial information)를 이용하여 디인터레이싱하는 ELA(Edge based line average) 방식과 양방향 움직임 추정(bi-directional motion estimation)을 통한 시간정보(temporal information)를 이용하여 디인터레이싱하는 움직임 보상방법 간의 가중합산(weighted summation)을 이용하여 디인터레이싱을 수행하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 때 가중치(weight)는 공간 및 시간 정보 모두를 사용하여 결정되어지며, 이렇게 결정되어진 가중치를 통해 각 방식의 단점을 극복하게 된다. 이러한 가중합산을 이용한 방법은 높은 계산복잡도 없이 단순한 구현을 통해 다양한 조건에서 높은 성능의 디인터레이싱이 가능토록 해주며, 그 하드웨어 구현을 용이하게 해준다.

Deinterlacing methods are usually divided into inter-field deinterlacing and intra-field deinterlacing. The most common method of intra-field deinterlacing is the linear method which uses line doubling or line averaging. There are also some edge-enhancement methods such as ELA(Edge Based Line Average) and modified ELA. However, the linear interpolation generates edge blurring or staircase artifacts. The methods using ELA or modified ELA show poor deinterlacing at various types of edges because of insufficient edge information in a certain direction. This paper presents an intra-field deinterlacing algorithm that considers the interpolation based on edges in 7 directions and an edge line in the horizontal direction. It demonstrates better picture quality by reducing the staircase phenomenon of object in the conventional methods.

Deinterlacing is a method to convert interlaced video, including two fields (even and odd), to progressive video. It can be divided into spatial and temporal methods. The deinterlacing method in the spatial domain can easily be hardware-implemented, but yields image degradation if information about the deinterlaced pixel does not exist in the same field. On the other hand, the method in the temporal domain yields a deinterlaced image with higher quality but uses more memory, and hardware implementation is more difficult. Furthermore, the deinterlacing method in the temporal domain degrades image quality when motion is not estimated properly. The proposed method is for deinterlacing in the spatial domain. It uses several deinterlacing methods according to statistical characteristics in neighboring pixel locations. In this procedure, the proposed method uses the C4.5 algorithm, a typical classification algorithm based on entropy for choosing optimal methods from among the candidates. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms previous deinterlacing methods in terms of objective and subjective image quality.

The interpolation is used in many image processing applications such as image enhancement, de-interlacing/scan-rate conversion, wavelet transforms based on the lifting scheme, and so on. Among these, de-interlacing and scan-rate conversion are proposed for the digital TV applications. The de-interlacing algorithm can be classified into two categories. The first one uses only one field, called intra-field de-interlacing, and the other uses multiple field, called inter-field de-interlacing. In this paper, an efficient de-interlacing algorithm using spatial domain information is proposed far the interpolation of interlaced images. By efficiently estimating the directional correlations, improved interpolation accuracy has been achieved. In addition, the proposed method is simply structured and is easy to implement. Extensive simulations conducted for various images and video sequences have shown the efficacy of the proposed method with significant improvement over the previous intra-field do-interlacing methods in terms of the objective image quality as well as the subjective image quality.

Recent prevalence of progressive scan display such as LCD TV demands the quality improvement of existing deinterlacing techniques that convert interlaced scan images including HDTV broadcasting to progressive scan images. In this paper, we proposea motion adaptive deinterlacing technique which can be used for spatial methods, temporal methods, and the spatial-temporal methods can be used for the deinterlacing techniques selectively based on the threshold values calculated by the statistics of motion in the video contents. We also propose an improved spatial deinterlacing technique that adaptively use M-ELA and DOI based on the slant of edges that are obtained by Sobel operation. The improved picture quality of the proposed algorithm is confirmed by objective and subjective quality tests on many test image sequences.

As analog broadcast has replaced digital broadcast and HDTV broadcast has settled as a standard of broadcast system in Korea, most of broadcast in Korea send interlaced signal. For TV uses interlaced scan order, deinterlacing which converts interlaced signal into progressive signal has remain important. In this paper, efficient deinterlacing method considering continuity of edge direction is proposed. Deinterlacing along with the dege of an object is one of the main issue for better visual quality. Thus, an algorithm introduced in this paper consider not only the edge of object but continuity so that a better result is drawn forth. The result shows that the proposed algorithm excels comparing with conventional algorithms.

In this paper, we propose an efficient deinterlacing algorithm which is an edge dependent interpolation based on edge direction refinement. The conventional edge dependent interpolation algorithms have a visually better performance than any other Intra-field deinterlacing algorithms. However they are very sensitive to noise due to the failure of estimating edge direction. In order to exactly detect edge direction, our method detects edge direction of around interpolated pixel and refines the edge direction using weighted median filter. Simulation results have shown the efficacy of the proposed method with significant improvement over the previous methods in terms of the objective PSNR quality as well as the subjective image quality.

본 논문에서는 양방향 움직임 보상에 의한 필드 보간(bi-directional motion-compensated field interpolation) 방법을 사용한 효과적인 디인터레이싱(de-interlacing) 기법을 제안한다. 움직임 추정(motion estimation)을 이용한 일반적인 디인터레이싱 기법은 서로 다른 샘플링 격자(sampling grid) 관계인 연속한 두 필드(field)들간의 움직임 추정을 위해 line average 같은 비교적 간단한 형태의 디인터레이싱 기법이 선행된다. 그러나, 제안한 방법은 보간할 필드(the interpolated field)의 전후 필드들의 같은 샘플링 관계인 존재하는 스캔 라인(the existing scan line)들 사이에서만 움직임 추정이 이루어지므로 구현이 용이하다. 이때 구해진 움직임 벡터는 양방향 움직임 추정을 위한 초기 값으로 사용되어 진다. 제안한 알고리듬은 기존의 움직임 정보를 이용한 기법에 비해 구현이 용이하며, 카메라 움직임이 있는 panning, zooming 영상에 특히 효율적이다.
