Second generation video format conversion software for a digital signal processor

The second generation real-time high quality video format conversion (VFC) system for a digital signal processor (DSP) is presented. The software package implements motion estimation (ME), motion compensation, de-interlacing and film detection techniques. The quality of the VFC system approaches that of the dedicated ICs for VFC available for consumer television sets.
