Until today, the interlaced scan format is widely used by the TV industry. The interlaced video is an easy way to halve the bandwidth, but exposes well known artifacts like line crawling, edge flicker, and jagged effects. Furthermore, an interlaced field is unsuitable for progressively scanned format used in LCD and plasma displays. De-interlacing is the process to convert interlaced format into progressive format. This work presents a novel edge-based motion adaptive de-interlacing algorithm to promote visual quality of video sequences. An interlaced field is divided and analyzed by...
