Abstract:
1. A method for generating an optimized deinterlaced signal from a deinterlaced input signal, the method comprising: receiving, at a device, a deinterlaced input signal, the deinterlaced input signal having first and second input frames; wherein, each of the first and second input frames includes even scan lines and odd scan lines; identifying a first set of original scan lines in a first input frame of the deinterlaced input signal as one of either the even scan lines or the odd scan lines of the deinterlaced input signal; wherein, in a second input frame which is immediately following the first input frame: generating a first optimized frame of the optimized deinterlaced signal using the first set of original scan lines; generating a second optimized frame of the optimized deinterlaced signal using the second set of the original scan lines; wherein the second optimized frame of the optimized deinterlaced signal follows the first optimized frame.
