Patent ID: RE45169

Claim:
In a computer system having a memory, a method of generating video frames, the method comprising: receiving, in the memory, first data representing a first video frame corresponding to a first time, the first data comprising a plurality of elements relating to corresponding groups of pixels; receiving, in the memory, second data representing a second video frame corresponding to a second time, the second data comprising a plurality of elements relating to corresponding groups of pixels and at least one motion vector relating at least one of the plurality of elements to a location of a similar element in the first data representing the first video frame; generating third data representing at least one video frame corresponding to a selected time between the first and second times, based upon information from the first and/or second data, the third data comprising a plurality of elements relating to corresponding groups of pixels, the at least one video frame including at least one selected element in a position along a motion vector between corresponding elements in the first and second video frames at a distance intermediate to the respective positions in which that selected element is represented within the first and second video frames; and filtering at least a portion of the generated third data including pixels, wherein the strength of the pixel filtering applied is based at least in part on a quantizer.
