Abstract
A digital image processor is provided. The digital image processor includes a deinterlacing processor coupled between an input buffer operable to receive an interlaced video stream and an output operable to transmit a deinterlaced video stream. The deinterlacing processor is also coupled to a digital memory for storing portions of the interlaced video signal. The deinterlacing processor is operable to detect said diagonal features in the portions of the received interlaced video stream and to generate the deinterlaced video stream having smoothed diagonal features.
