  • Patent number: 12664607
    Abstract: A method for generating a video intermediate frame includes performing a warp operation on a plurality of target video frames, based on a bidirectional optical flow between the plurality of target video frames, to obtain a plurality of pictures, determining a similarity between sub-pictures corresponding to image sub-regions in the plurality of pictures, predicting, based on the similarity, a network depth of a frame synthesis network matched with a corresponding image sub-region, the network depth increasing as the similarity decreases, performing synthetic processing, using the frame synthesis network, on corresponding sub-pictures of each of the image sub-regions, based on the network depth matched with the corresponding image sub-region, to obtain a plurality of images, and splicing the plurality of images to obtain intermediate frames of the plurality of target video frames, based on each of the image sub-regions.
