Pipelining techniques to deinterlace video information are described. An apparatus may comprise deinterlacing logic to convert interlaced video data into deinterlaced video data using multiple processing pipelines. Each pipeline may process the interlaced video data in macroblocks. Each macroblock may comprise a set of working pixels from a current macroblock and supplemental pixels from a previous macroblock. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Pipelining techniques for deinterlacing video information

A method including, in some embodiments, comparing a preceding field and a succeeding field of a video signal for motion at a locus of a current pixel in a current field to be interpolated, in an instance of no motion determining which of a current pixel location in the preceding field and the succeeding field is closer to an estimate of a neighbor pixel and using the result of the determination to decide which of the preceding and succeeding fields to use to interpolate the current pixel based on symmetric spatial neighbors of the current pixel, and in an instance of motion interpolating the current pixel based on symmetric spatial neighbors of the current pixel at a line above and a line below the current pixel in the current frame.
