Abstract: A processing system generates interpolated frames between two rendered frames based on an estimated motion vector field for one or more interpolated frames. The processing system determines a motion vector for a location of the interpolated frame by assigning a weight to each motion vector of the current frame that is estimated to intersect the location. The processing system samples a number of motion vectors of the current frame that are estimated to intersect the location based on the assigned weights to select a motion vector for the location of the interpolated frame. The processing system iterates the process for each location of the interpolated frame to generate a motion vector field and generates pixel values for the interpolated frame based at least in part on the generated motion vector field for the interpolated frame.
