Abstract

Methods and apparatus for the generation of interpolated frames of video data. In one embodiment, the interpolated frames of video data are generated by obtaining two or more frames of video data; performing Lagrangian interpolation on one or more portions of the obtained two or more frames of video data to generate a Lagrangian interpolated image; performing Eulerian interpolation on one or more portions of the obtained two or more frames to generate a Eulerian interpolated image; and when the Lagrangian interpolated image and the Eulerian interpolated image should be combined, computing an average interpolated image using the Lagrangian interpolated image and the Eulerian interpolated image; otherwise, selecting either the Lagrangian interpolated image or the Eulerian interpolated image; and generating an interpolated frame of video data using one or more of the average interpolated image, the Lagrangian interpolated image, or the Eulerian interpolated image.
