Abstract :
We propose a novel approach for generating video interpolating frames from optical flow information. Our approach is based on solving an affine image-matching equation via the Green´s function method. This method provides a pair of filters that, when applied on each frame of an input video signal, allows the generation of a virtual sequence that creates extra frames. Our technique provides smooth reconstruction of video, specifically of sequences created through camera translation or translation of objects in a otherwise static scene.
