A New Edge-based Intra-field Interpolation Method for Deinterlacing Using Locally Adaptive-thresholded Binary Image.

This paper proposes a new method to improve re performance of intra-field interpolation which is the mos~ important element of deinterlacing method. Traditional edge- based methods were poor at determining accurate edge iirection which decides interpolation performance. The 7roposed method decides the direction and slope of edge based on locally adaptive-thresholded binary image to mprove efficiency and accuracy, and it also increased the ~orizontal size of search window to 15 for better direction ietermination at gentle slope. Compared to traditional edge- based methods, interpolation based on binary image, which is ,`enerated using the proposed method, leads to great erformance improvement. With computer simulations for a ~`ariety of images, this paper shows the new approach is much ~etter than traditional methods.. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
