Patent ID: 8670071

Claim:
A method for de-interlacing interlaced video, the method comprising: receiving a first video field and a second video field of an interlaced video frame; generating a first video frame by inserting the first video field in the first video frame on every second line of the first video frame and by inserting a first synthesized video field on the lines of the first video frame not populated by the first video field, wherein the video data of the first synthesized video field is based on video data of the second video field and on video data of the first field; generating a second video frame by inserting the second video field in the second video frame on every second line of the second video frame and by inserting a second synthesized video field on the lines of the second video frame not populated by the second video field, wherein the video data of the second synthesized video field is based on video data of the second video field and the received video field not being the second video field; and outputting two de-interlaced video frames for every received interlaced video frame.
