Claim One:
1. A method of motion-compensated interpolation of a data-signal, which data-signal comprises successive images wherein each image comprises groups of pixels, the method comprising: generating ( 18 ) motion vectors, each motion vector corresponding to a group of pixels of one image, between a group of pixels of said one image and a second group of pixels of another image in the data-signal; generating ( 16 ) interpolated results as a function of these motion vectors; estimating ( 20 ) the reliability of each motion vector corresponding to a particular group of pixels; calculating ( 20 ) weights as a function of the reliability of the motion vectors; and generating ( 20 ) an interpolated luminous intensity of a group of pixels for an interpolated image by calculating, on the basis of these weights, a weighted average of the interpolated results.
