Image interpolation will NOT sharpen motion blur that's already in the image, as the photo might imply.

Image interpolation can reduce the jitteryness of camera pans, which is most obvious in 24fps movies, except that interpolating 60fps to 120fps won't help films because each film frame is repeated for 2 or 3 video frames, unless the processing performs reverse telecine to recover the original 24fps from the video signal, and interpolates from that.

Also, image interpolation adds significant latency - it needs at least one "future" frames (ideally more) to interpolate a frame. Therefore, the frame being drawn behind the video signal.

And finally, it can make mistakes that add artifacts to the image. I personally can't stand the noise reduction on Sony tvs because I notice the artifacts (although, I know what to look for, someone else might not be as aware of it), and I'm sure this process would add artifacts as well.

I could appreciate 24fps to 60fps image interpolation inside a DVD player, that can work from the original 24fps source. That would make a difference. But 60fps to 120fps image interpolation inside a tv without reverse telecine is pointless.]]>Jan 29th 2007 3:45PM
