Abstract

We propose a frame rate up-conversion algorithm using bidirectional optical flow estimation at each pixel based on a previously proposed Hierarchical Optical flow Estimation (HOE) algorithm. The HOE is extended from unidirectional flow estimation to bidirectional flow estimation in which a 3¡¿3¡¿2 multi-dimensional filter and a motion compensated image method are used for high accuracy of flow estimation. PSNRs of 30.29?45.99 dB were obtained for five test sequences with computer simulations. The PSNR improvements are 3.50?10.99 dB compared to a simple bidirectional block matching method and 0.26?1.88 dB compared to an existing method based on a bidirectional block matching method.
