Abstract :
Two challenging situations for video frame rate up-conversion (FRUC) are first identified; namely, when the input video has abrupt illumination change and/or a low frame rate. Then, a low-complexity robust FRUC algorithm is proposed to address these two issues. The proposed algorithm employs a translational motion vector (MV) model of the first- and the second- order and detects the continuity of these motion vectors (MVs). The superior performance of the proposed algorithm has been tested extensively and representative examples are given in this work.
