Abstract
An edge adaptive de-interlacing apparatus and method are disclosed. The edge adaptive de-interlacing apparatus includes a complexity detection module, a qualifier, a comparator and a mixer. The complexity detection module detects complexity associated with a target pixel. The qualifier is coupled to the complexity detection module for generating similarity of at least one possible edge angle in response to the complexity. The comparator is coupled to the qualifier for comparing the similarity of the at least one possible edge to select a preferred edge angle. The mixer is coupled to the comparator for generating pixel data of the target pixel according to the preferred edge angle.
