Abstract

This chapter describes video processing algorithms commonly in use today. In addition to describing how they work at a generic level, this chapter will also explain why such processing is necessary, even on today’s high definition content. Sample pictures are included that visually demonstrate the key principles of the various algorithms. The processing categories that are covered include: deinterlacing, film mode detection, scaling, anamorphic scaling, nonlinear anamorphic scaling, hue, saturation, brightness, contrast, de-noise, detail enhancement, and frame rate conversion.
