Currently NTSC, PAL, and SECOM are widely used for TV broadcasting systems. In Korea, NTSC has been used to reduce transmission bandwidth and broadband flickers using the Interlaced scanning method. Image data in the Interlaced scanning method require De-interlacing compensation for PC-based multimedia applications. The existing compensation algorithms such as ZOI, FOI, and ELA provieds simple computations and effective image compensation while the PSNR is low and horizontal and vertical edges are hardly detected. In this paper, the ADI(Adaptive De-Interlacing) algorithm that can increase PSNR and detect horizontal and vertical edges is proposed and a hardware system is implemented using three ACTEL 1020B FPGA chips. The system consists of the algorithm part implemented using two FPGAs and the memory control part implemented using rest one. Also the system operation is investigated for real time processing.

In this paper, the ADI(Adaptive De-interlacing) algorithm is proposed, which improves visually and subjectively horizontal and vertical edges of the image processed by the ELA(Edge Line-based Average) method.

The proposed algorithm is verified using C and Matlab and implemented using $0.6{\mu}m$ 2-poly 3-metal CMOS standard libraries. For the circuit and logic simulation, Cadence tool is used.

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.

In this study, for the first time, we propose the ADI(Adaptive De-Interlacing) algorithm, which improves visually and subjectively, horizontal and vertical edges on the image processed by the ELA (Edge Based Line Average) method. The proposed ADI algorithm enlargesthe window size to 5*3 in order to utilize the feature of the continuity of edges, and the adaptive interpolator is employed to decide adaptiely horizontal, diagonal, and vertical edges. Based on the results of the compter simulation, it is confimed that the new ADI algorithm improve the PSNR by 0.5dB in the Lena image with 512*512 size and by 0.4dB in the sequence image of a salesman, respectively. For the horizontal and vertial edges on the still and salesman sequence images, the proposed ADI algorithm has better visulal improvement than the conventional ELA algorithm.

This paper proposes a novel adaptive algorithm for deinterlacing. In the proposed algorithm, the previously developed Enhanced ELA [6], Chen [9] and Li [10] algorithms were used as a basis. The fundamental mechanism was the selection and application of the appropriate algorithm according to the correlation with the previous and next field using temporal information. Extensive simulations were conducted for video sequences and showed good performance in terms of peak signal-to-ratio (PSNR) and subjective quality.

격행 주사 방식은 제한된 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용찬 수 있기 때문에 NTSC(National Television System Committee), PAL(Phase Alternation Line), 그리고 SECAM(Sequentiel couleur a Memoire)을 포함한 다양한 TV 방송 표준에서 넓게 이용되어지고 있다. 격행 주사 방식을 이용하면 같은 대역폭을 사용하는 동안에 프레임 율을 2배로 늘일 수 있으나 이 방식은 주사 방식의 특징 때문에 영상의 화질 열화를 가져온다. 이러한 화질 열화를 방지하기 위해 기존의 많은 디인터레이싱(De-interlacing) 기법들이 소개 되었다. 본 논문에서는 정교한 DOI(Direction Oriented Interpolation)기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 기존의 알고리즘보다 안정적이고 에지의 방향을 좀 더 정교하게 찾는 특징이 있다. 실험 결과 제안한 방식은 주관적인 화질뿐만 아니라 객관적인 성능도 우수함을 알 수 있다.

This paper proposes a motion-adaptive de-interlacing algorithm based on EBMF(Edge Based Median Filter) and AMPDF(Adaptive Minimum Pixel Difference Fillet). To compensate 'motion missing'error, which is an important factor in motion-adaptive methods, we used AMPDF which estimates an accurate value using different thresholds after classifying the input image to 4 classes. To efficiently interpolate the moving diagonal edge, we also used EBMF which selects a candidate pixel according to the edge information. Finally, we, to increase the performance, adopted an adaptive interpolation after classifying the input image to moving region, stationary region, and boundary region. Simulation results showed that the proposed method provides better performance than the existing methods.

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.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for interlaced-to-progressive conversion by the weighted summation of the information collected from spatial do-interlacing method, in which the weighted edge based line average is applied, and the temporal method in which the motion compensation is employed by using hi-directional BMA (block matching algorithm). We employed time-recursive and motion adaptive processing as motion detection is involved. Also, a median filter is used to deal with limitation of the linear summation in which only an intermediate of values being involved is determined. The main goal of the approach is to overcome the shortcomings of each of the do-interlacing techniques without significant increment of the computational complexity, and the proposed method is apt to implement in hardware for real-time processing.
