Abstract
This paper presents the application of soft computing
techniques to video processing. Specially, the research
work has been focused on de-interlacing task. It is necessary
whenever the transmission standard uses an interlaced format
but the receiver requires a progressive scanning, as happens
in consumer displays such as LCDs and plasma. A simple
hierarchical solution that combines three simple fuzzy logicbased
constituents (interpolators) is presented in this paper. Each
interpolator specialized in one of three key image features for
de-interlacing: motion, edges, and possible repetition of picture
areas. The resulting algorithm offers better results than others
with less or similar computational cost. A very interesting result
is that our algorithm is competitive with motion-compensated
algorithm
