Abstract
An image processing method for frame rate conversion, comprising: receiving a stream of input pictures at an input frame rate, at least some of the input pictures being new pictures, the new pictures appearing within the stream of input pictures at an underlying new picture rate; generating interpolated pictures from certain ones of the input pictures; outputting a stream of output pictures at an output frame rate, the stream of output pictures including a blend of the new pictures and the interpolated pictures, the interpolated pictures appearing in the stream of output pictures at an average interpolated picture rate; and causing a variation in the average interpolated picture rate in response to detection of a variation in the underlying new picture rate.
