Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing deinterlacing. The technique includes separating a first interlaced video frame into a first sequence of fields ordered by time, the first sequence of fields including a first field. The technique also includes generating, by applying a deinterlacing network to a first field in the first sequence, a second field that is missing from the first sequence of fields and is complementary to the first field. The technique further includes constructing a progressive video frame based on the first field and the second field.
