    Abstract: Embodiments of this disclosure relate to the multimedia processing field, and provide a video frame interpolation method, apparatus, and a device. In the video frame interpolation method in this disclosure, a first image at first time, a second image at second time, and sensor data captured by a dynamic vision sensor apparatus are obtained, and the sensor data includes dynamic event data between the first time and the second time. At least one target image is determined based on the first image, the second image, and the sensor data, where the at least one target image is an image corresponding to at least one target time between the first time and the second time. The dynamic event data is used to help compensate for motion information missing from existing image data. This implements accurate prediction of an intermediate image, and improves image prediction effect.
