Abstract
A technique for generating motion vectors for applications is requiring field of frame rate interpolation and especially in standards conversion. The image gradients on the same standard as the input video or film signal and then vertical/temporal interpolators are used to convert to the output standard before determining the motion vectors. This allows motion vectors to be easily calculated on the output standard.
