Patent ID: 8576341

Claim:
A method for performing motion compensated interpolation using a previous frame and a current frame of a displayable output, the method comprising: determining if motion of an object within the displayable output with respect to motion of a background within the displayable output is such that a particular area of an interpolated frame is a reveal region, a conceal region, or neither; when the area is neither a reveal region nor a conceal region, using both forward vectors applied to the current frame and backward vectors applied to the previous frame to calculate values for pixels within the area; when the area is a reveal region, using forward vectors applied to the current frame and to a frame subsequent to the current frame to calculate values for pixels within the area, without using backward vectors; and when the area is a conceal region, using backward vectors applied to the previous frame and to a frame prior to the previous frame to calculate values for pixels within the area, without using forward vectors.
