A fuzzy edge-dependent motion adaptive algorithm for de-interlacing

De-interlacing algorithms are required to convert interlaced video into progressive scan format. They perform an interpolation technique which doubles the vertical sampling density. This paper presents a de-interlacing algorithm which employs fuzzy logic to adapt the interpolation strategy to the presence of motion and edges. Extensive simulations of video sequences prove the advantages of this novel approach.
