Abstract

A progressive scan receiver includes a frame interpolation filter for generating added lines for display in a given field from a video input signal by interpolation from corresponding elements of immediately preceding and following fields. A second filter provides a line interpolated signal having picture elements spatially and temporally coincident with corresponding elements of the frame interpolated signal and having a suppressed vertical detail component. A third filter attenuates the vertical detail component of the frame interpolated signal. An output circuit combines the signals of the three filters to provide a frame interpolated video output signal in which the vertical resolution of the video input signal is preserved and motion artifacts characteristic of frame interpolation are attenuated.
