Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit comprising: a gradient-based motion vector generator operative to generate an image motion vector map based on a first source image and a second source image, wherein the image motion vector map represents the trajectory of motion for pixels in the first and second source images; an image interpolator operative to generate an interpolated image based on the first and second source images by interpolating pixel values along the trajectories of the image motion vector map; and a mipmap generator operative to generate at least two pairs of mipmaps based on the first source image and the second source image, wherein a first mipmap of each pair of mipmaps is a downsized version of the first source image, wherein a second mipmap of each pair of mipmaps is a downsized version of the second source image, and wherein the gradient-based motion vector generator is operative to generate the image motion vector map based on the at least two pairs of mipmaps.
