A method and system for detecting and handling invalid motion estimation for video frame interpolation
By calculating the effective motion estimation cost threshold and correcting the optimal motion estimation value (MV) of invalid motion estimation, the tearing and mosaic problems caused by the rotation or distortion of moving objects in MEMC video interpolation technology are solved, thus improving the visual quality of video interpolation.

AI Technical Summary
Existing MEMC video interpolation technology fails to estimate motion when moving objects rotate, scale, or distort significantly, resulting in abrupt tearing or mosaic effects in the interpolated area, which affects the user's visual experience.
By recording the minimum motion estimation cost of an image block, the effective motion estimation cost threshold is calculated to determine the validity of the motion estimation of the image block. Invalid motion estimation image blocks are corrected, and the optimal MV is corrected to MV(0,0), which participates in the frame interpolation process.
It reduces the abrupt tearing and mosaic phenomenon introduced by invalid motion estimation, improves the user's subjective visual experience, is suitable for hardware implementation, has low algorithm complexity, and low hardware cost.
