Deinterlacer Using Weave Mode
This design example shows you 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. In this example with weave deinterlacing, the Deinterlacer MegaCore function stitches the consecutive fields together into a frame. Weave deinterlacer works well when changes are minimal between two adjacent frames. When changes are visible, the pixels in one frame do not line up with the pixels in the other, resulting in jagged vertical edges, commonly known as the "mouse teeth" artifact.
The model consists of an image stream source block, a deinterlacing_weave block, an external RAM block, and an image stream sink block. The image stream source block reads the input binary file and feeds the data stream to the deinterlacing_weave block. The external RAM block stores the previous field's data and writes back to the deinterlacing_weave block to combine with the current field's data. 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.
