Abstract
The computing forward and backward vectors in unique patterns to achieve improved horizontal and vertical detail of the video display while reducing data processing and storage overhead is disclosed. The invention comprises generating a unique pattern of forward and backward motion vectors. The motion vectors are calculated using a quincunx vector sub-sampling of the forward and backward motion vectors to generate the pattern of motion vectors. The unique pattern generated by the quincunx vector sub-sampling provides more symmetrical sampling in the horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions and the benefit of lower data processing overhead while performing frame rate conversion.
