Motion blur reduction for high frame rate LCD-TVs

Today´s LCD-TVs reduce their hold time to prevent motion blur. This is best implemented using frame rate up-conversion with motion compensated interpolation. The registration process of the TV-signal, by film or video camera, has been identified as a second motion blur source, which becomes dominant for TV displays with a frame rate of 100 Hz or higher. In order to justify any further hold time reduction of LCDs, this second type of motion blur, referred to as camera blur, needs to be addressed. This paper presents a real-time camera blur estimation and reduction method, suitable for TV-applications.
