Abstract

A software package realizes real-time video processing on a commercially available programmable device. The software implements a motion estimator and a picture rate convertor to provide judder-free display of movie material broadcast in 2-3 pull-clown mode. A new object-based true-motion estimation algorithm efficiently uses the VLIW core of the processor. It permits quasi-simultaneous motion estimation/segmentation for a fixed maximum number of objects
