INVERSE TELECINE TECHNIQUES

摘要

This disclosure describes inverse telecine techniques that are performed to adjust or convert the frame rate of a video sequence. The described techniques provide a very useful way to identify a telecine technique that was used to increase the frame rate of a video sequence. Upon identifying the telecine technique that was used, the corresponding inverse telecine technique can be performed with respect to the sequence of video frames in order to decrease the frame rate back to its original form (prior to telecine). This disclosure also provides many useful details that can improve inverse telecine, e.g., by simplifying the inverse telecine process and by reducing memory accesses during the process.
