Abstract
A method for generating an interpolation frame between first and second reference frames includes dividing an interpolation frame into several interpolation areas; detecting a most correlated combination from several combinations between first reference areas and second reference areas for each interpolation area; obtaining a motion vector from the first and second reference areas; determining whether the first reference areas and the second reference areas are in a high-correlated area or a low-correlated area; giving the motion vector to the motion vector detected area, the motion vector detected area corresponding to the interpolation area which is determined to be the high-correlated area in the first and second reference areas; determining a motion vector to be given to the motion vector undetected area; and generating the interpolation frame based on the motion vector given to the motion vector detected area and the motion vector determined for the motion vector undetected area.
