Abstract
A method of motion estimation and motion compensation for a video processor includes steps of: detecting an input frame rate of a series of input frames; calculating a frame counting value, wherein the frame counting value represents the number of output frame periods between a current input frame and a previous input frame among the series of input frames; calculating a phase step, which is configured to generate a phase coefficient for generating an interpolated frame as an output frame of each of the output frame periods, according to the frame counting value; and generating the interpolated frame based on the current input frame and the previous input frame by using the phase coefficient. Wherein, the step of calculating the frame counting value, the step of calculating the phase step and the step of generating the interpolated frame are consistently performed until the input frame rate is successfully detected.
