Abstract
The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for de-interlacing. The apparatus includes an edge detection module, a statistics module, and an interpolation circuit. The edge detection module performs an edge detection operation on a plurality of pixels of an image so as to generate edge information corresponding to the image. The statistics module performs a detection window based statistics operation on the edge information so as to generate statistics information corresponding to the image. The interpolation circuit interpolates the image according to the statistics information so as to generate an intra-field interpolation signal corresponding to the image.
