Abstract
Apparatus and methods for the generation of interpolated frames of video data. In one embodiment, a computerized apparatus is disclosed that includes a video data interface configured to receive frames of video data; a processing apparatus in data communication with the video data interface; and a storage apparatus in data communication with the processing apparatus. The computerized apparatus is further configured to: receive frames of captured video data; retrieve capture parameters associated with the frames of captured video data; generate optical flow parameters from the frames of captured video data; ascribe differing weights based on the capture parameters and/or the optical flow parameters; generate frames of interpolated video data for the frames of captured video data based at least in part on the ascribed weights; and compile a resultant video stream using the frames of interpolated video data and the frames of captured video data.
