Motion compensated frame interpolation using skipped frame information

In the literature, most motion compensated frame interpolation (MCFI) methods for frame rate up conversion are performed at the decoder side. To reduce computational complexity of the decoder and improve visual quality of interpolated frames, this paper proposes an advanced MCFI (AMCFI) algorithm which uses skipped frame information to select weight and motion vector for MCFI. The weight and motion vector selections are performed at the encoder side instead of decoder and at the decoder only a simple MCFI with low computation cost is performed. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms other MCFI algorithms subjectively and objectively.
