Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, displaying a motion-interpolated frame on the display portion has lower image quality than displaying a duplicate frame on it when the motion estimation is wrong
Degraded image quality due to reuse of motion interpolated frames and repeated interpolated frames

Abstract

A frame rate converter is provided, and includes a motion vector calculator which calculates a motion vector; a motion error calculator which calculates a motion error level of the motion vector; an interpolation frame output part which generates a repetition interpolation frame, which corresponds to the current frame or the previous frame, and a motion interpolation frame based on the motion vector; and a controller which calculates a frame selection value larger than a preset reference selection value by more than a first level when the motion error level is larger than a reference error level, and calculates a frame selection value smaller than the previous frame selection value by a second level, which is smaller than the first level, when the motion error level is smaller than the reference error level, and controls the interpolation frame output part to output the repetition interpolation frame or the motion interpolation frame based on the calculated frame selection value.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2006-0002749 filed in the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Jan. 10, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] Apparatus consistent with the present invention relates to frame rate converters and, more particularly, to a method for selectively outputting frames interpolated by motion vectors or frames produced by repeating one of two adjacent frames to produce two Frame rate converter for interpolated frames inserted between adjacent frames. Background technique [0003] Generally, a frame rate converter (FGC) converts the frequency of an input video signal according to an output standard. For example, a new interpolated frame is inserted between original frames to convert a video signal from 50Hz to 100Hz. [0004] Methods of generating such an interpolated frame include: a method of repeating an original frame; and a method of calculating a mo...
