Patent ID: 8446523

Claim:
An image processing method, for processing a plurality of successive fields, comprising: receiving a first field from a first film frame and a second field from a second film frame wherein said first film frame and said second film frame are successive; calculating a motion vector set according to the first field and the second field; and generating at least one interpolation frame according to the first field, the second field, and the motion vector set, comprising the steps of: generating a quality parameter associated with the motion vector set; and determining the amount of the at least one interpolation frames to be generated and the output timing of each of the at least one interpolation frames according to the quality parameter; wherein the step of generating the at least one interpolation frame further comprises generating a first interpolation frame, a second interpolation frame, a third interpolation frame, and a fourth interpolation frame under 3:2 pull-down film mode for outputting 120 frames per second, and the four interpolation frames are obtained by integrating the first field and the second field according to proportions of one fifth, two fifth, three fifth and four fifth of the motion vector set.
