FRAME RATE UP-CONVERSION USING KEY POINT AGNOSTIC FREQUENCY-SELECTIVE MESH-TO-GRID RESAMPLING

High frame rates are desired in many fields of application. As in many cases the frame repetition rate of an already captured video has to be increased, frame rate up-conversion (FRUC) is of high interest. We conduct a motion compensated approach. From two neighboring frames, the motion is estimated and the neighboring pixels are shifted along the motion vector into the frame to be reconstructed. For displaying, these irregularly distributed mesh pixels have to be resampled onto regularly spaced grid positions. We use the model-based key point agnostic frequency-selective mesh-to-grid resampling (AFSMR) for this task and show that AFSMR works best for applications that contain irregular meshes with varying densities. AFSMR gains up to 3.2 dB in contrast to the already high performing frequency-selective mesh-to-grid resampling (FSMR). Additionally, AFSMR increases the run time by a factor of 11 relative to FSMR.
