Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for interpolating a subpixel at an interpolation position, which is situated in the chronological order between two source frames. Thereby the calculation of the interpolated subpixel's value is based on the value of the pixels of the two source frames and additional weighting coefficients, which are based on the motion vectors correlating the two source frames.
