Deinterlacer Using Bob Mode
This design example shows how to convert interlaced video into a non-interlaced format in DSP Builder. Interlaced video is composed of a sequence of fields and must be converted to a sequence of frames before display in certain applications.
The Altera® Deinterlacer MegaCore® function supports two deinterlacing methods: bob and weave. Unlike weave deinterlacer, bob deinterlacer simply drops every other field temporally and interpolates the current field spatially to fill the missing lines. The bob deinterlaced frames are more blurry, although less jagged, compared to the weave deinterlaced frames. The Altera Deinterlacer MegaCore function performs bob deinterlacing by either duplicating the current fields or interpolating current fields linearly. In this example with bob deinterlacing, the Deinterlacer MegaCore function averages the line above and below to fill the entire frame.
The model consists of an image stream source block, a deinterlacer_bob block, and an image stream sink block. The image stream source block reads the input binary file and feeds the data stream to the deinterlacer_bob block. The image stream sink block writes the deinterlaced data stream to an output binary file. The package also includes the utility to convert an avi video file format to and from a binary file format.
