Towards an Overview of Spatial Up-conversion Techniques.

Abstract: The introduction of High definition television (HDTV) asks for spatial up-conversion techniques enabling the display of standard definition material (SDTV). The paper provides an overview of some important linear and non-linear methods. We further include a performance evaluation using a Mean Square Error criterion and show relevant screen shots to allow for a subjective impression obtained with the described algorithms.
