Abstract: Presented herein are caching structures and apparatus for use in block based video. In one embodiment, there is described a system receiving lower resolution frames and generating higher resolution frames. The system comprises an upsampling circuit, a first circuit, and a second circuit. The upsampling circuit upsamples a particular lower resolution frame, thereby resulting in an upsampled frame. The first circuit maps frames that are proximate to the particular frame, to the particular frame. The second circuit simultaneously updates the upsampled frame with two or more blocks from at least one of the frames that are proximate to the particular frame.

Abstract: Systems and methods of motion compensated frame rate conversion are described herein. These systems and methods convert an input video sequence at a first frame rate to an output video sequence at a second frame rate through a novel motion estimation and motion vector processing stage that produces a motion field having a plurality of motion vectors that describe the movement of objects between input video frames from the perspective of an interpolated video frame. A subsequent motion compensated interpolation stage then constructs the interpolated video frame using an adaptively blended combination of a motion compensated prediction and a temporal average prediction of the pixel values from the input video frames.
