Claim One:
1. A method for generating new image data from video data of images, where each image is subdivided into blocks in a video sequence, the method comprising: detecting, using a scene change detector, a scene change between two images selected for generating new image data; determining, using a detection unit, a separate image area within each of the two images selected, the separate image area relating to different content than a content of a remaining image portion in each of the two images selected, and the separate image area being at least a line or column of blocks with a common motion vector; generating, using an output calculator, new image data based on motion compensation that is applied to the two images selected if a scene change has not been detected using the scene change detector; and generating, using the output calculator, new image data for a new image corresponding to the separate image area within each of the two images selected based on motion compensation of image data from the two images selected if a scene change has been detected, and generating new image data in a remaining portion of the new image outside of the separate image area within each of the two images selected based on interpolation of image data from a single selected image, wherein when a scene change has been detected the new image data of the separate image area is generated differently from the new image data outside the separate image area.
