Abstract
Provided are a method and an apparatus for performing an inverse telecine process, and a recording medium to store a computer program for performing the inverse telecine method in a computer. The method for performing inverse telecine process includes calculating a total, for each frame of telecine images, of the absolute differences in odd and even field luminance values localized in a plurality of n×m pixel blocks that compose the frame. The calculated Frame Totals of Absolute Local Field Difference for five frames are normalizing components and outputting as a (row) vector; and the (row) vector of the normalized Frame Totals of Absolute Local Field Difference are compared to a plurality of templates to identify or reconstruct original film frames, which are recovered from the input video frames and output at a rate of N frames per second.
