ABSTRACT:
A technique for deinterlacing an interlaced video stream is disclosed. A method according to the technique can involve calculating a gradient of image intensity and identifying an edge. A bin can be selected that encompasses the edge. An unknown pixel can be calculated by blending known pixel values along the bin boundaries.
