Abstract

A device includes one or more processors configured to execute instructions to obtain motion data indicating estimated motion between a first frame and a second frame of an input sequence of image frames, and to identify, based on the motion data, any frame regions of the first frame that indicate motion greater than a motion threshold. The one or more processors are also configured to determine, based on the motion data, a motion metric associated with the identified frame regions, and to perform a determination, based on the motion metric and a size metric associated with the identified frame regions, whether to use motion-compensated frame interpolation to generate an intermediate frame. The one or more processors are further configured to generate the intermediate frame based on the determination, and to generate an output sequence of image frames that includes the intermediate frame between the first frame and the second frame.
