An Efficient Video De-interlacing with Scene Change Detection

An efficient video de-interlacing technique with scene change detection is proposed and its performances are examined. Scene changes happen quite often in film broadcasting and they tend to destabilize the quality of performance such as jagged effect, blurred effect, and artifacts effect, while de-interlacing technique is utilized. Therefore, the issue of scene change needs to be addressed with de-interlacing process. In the proposed method, de-interlacing begins with scene change detection, which is to ensure that the interfield information is used correctly. To improve the quality of de-interlacing, the factors of scene change are taken into account when deinterlacing techniques are applied. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm exhibits better performances than other interpolation algorithms.
